Herbie: My new car has this really cool feature.\u00a0 They call it a dome light.<\/p>\n
Alice: What?<\/p>\n
Herbie: Dome light.\u00a0 It’s inside the car, see, right above your head, and it turns on automatically when you open the door.\u00a0 It’s a great idea.\u00a0 Every car should have one.<\/p>\n
Alice: They do.<\/p>\n
Herbie: See?\u00a0 Someone is paying attention to me already.<\/p>\n
Alice: What a whiz.\u00a0 You should start playing the stock market.<\/p>\n
Herbie: Why didn’t I think of that?\u00a0 I should buy a few shares of Ford.<\/p>\n
Alice: Or you could just open and close the car door and enjoy the show.<\/p>\n
Herbie: Oh come on, don’t be that way.\u00a0 What’s the stock symbol for Ford?<\/p>\n
Alice: Could it start with an F?\u00a0 Just a thought.<\/p>\n
Herbie: Whoa! What is this lever about?\u00a0 I think I just opened the hood.<\/p>\n
Alice: Yep.\u00a0 You really know how to impress a girl.\u00a0 Do it again.<\/p>\n
Herbie: But the hood’s already open.\u00a0 Never mind, I’ll just go out and close it again.<\/p>\n
[Herbie opens the door and the dome light goes on.]<\/p>\n
Herbie: Damn, that’s cool!\u00a0 Does your car do this?<\/p>\n
Alice:\u00a0 [Sighs.] It does, Herbie.<\/p>\n
Herbie: Do you have a Ford too?<\/p>\n
Alice: Herbie, I’m cold, why don’t you get back into the car?<\/p>\n
Herbie: But the hood is open.<\/p>\n
Alice: Herbie…<\/p>\n
Herbie: Yes.<\/p>\n
Alice:\u00a0 Close the door, Herbie.\u00a0 It’s cold in here.<\/p>\n
Herbie: OK.<\/p>\n
[Herbie closes the door and the dome light goes out.]<\/p>\n
Herbie:\u00a0 It’s dark in here.<\/p>\n
Alice:\u00a0 That’s right, the way it should be.\u00a0 Now warm me up.<\/p>\n
Herbie:\u00a0 Damn, what a great invention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
