                              Abysmally Irritating
                                        
The phone rang. 

I picked it up. “Hello?” 

“This movie **SUCKED!**” It was Mark. [1] He had just finished watching AI
[2], the Stanley Kubrick as finished by Steven Spielberg “Down, not across”
feel good film of 2001. “We wasted **FOUR** bucks on this piece of
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX!” 

“Um … Mark … ” 

“And it's **ALL YOUR FAULT!** You said this film was good but depressing.” 

“It was! I found it horribly depressing, but it was a well done film. There
was a reason I didn't come over and watch it again.” 

“It's still your fault!” 

“Didn't you listen to Spring [3]?” 

“It sucked XXXXXXXXXX,” said Gerald. I could hear him yelling over the phone.


“Gee, I'm sorry guys,” I said. “I thought I warned you.” 

“It's still your fault!” 

“I'll make it up to you. How about we watch The Talented Mr. Ripley [4] on my
dime? … Hello? … Hello? … ” He hung up.
