M: Feel like going out for a walk?
W: Not right now—I’ m at a very exciting part of this book.
M: Okay. I think I’ll see what’ s on TV.
W: TV again!
M: So? What’ s wrrong with watching TV?
W: TV gives your brain damage. If you read a good book once in a while, it might improve your mind.
M: Oh yeah?
W: Yeah! Reading expands your horizons and lets you experience things you’ d never experience otherwise.
M: So does TV.
W: Well, but it isn’ t the same. Books stimulate your imagination.
M: Right—you imagine you’re doing something thrilling and important, when in fact you’re just lying there on your stomach turning pieces of paper.
W: But—but—but reading is thrilling and important! The world’ s culture and civilization is preserved in books.
M: You talk as if every book in the world were a masterpiece. What’s that you’re reading now—Hollywood Husband!? Now that sounds like a brilliant work of art!
W: Year, well—I still say reading is better than watching television.
M: Oh, what difference does it make anyway? Reading, TV—they’re both just ways to escape from real life. Are you sure you don’ t want to go out for a walk?
