Zack: <Gets in the shower after I’ve already been in there long enough to wash my hair.> That water is hot.
Sarah: No it’s not. It’s exactly how hot it was yesterday.
Zack: <Washes his face.> No, seriously, that water is face-scaldingly hot.
Sarah: The exact same temperature as yesterday.
Zack: No it’s not.
Sarah: Uh, Zack, I think I would know.
Zack: So hot.
<minutes pass>
Sarah: I’m getting out of the shower now, so you can adjust the water temperature however you’d like.
Zack: You’re abandoning me?
Sarah: I only have so long to get ready. I’ve gotta go.
Zack: <adjusts the water.> You can’t say the water wasn’t too hot when the cold water was completely off.
Sarah: I take a shower with only the hot water on every single morning.
Zack: No you don’t.
Sarah: <Sings, to the tune of “Every Morning” by Sugar Ray> “Every morning when I wake up I take a shower with only the hot water on…”
Zack: … No. On so many levels. No.
