"Nnh." (Mom is staring intently at the video display by the service counter) "What's this Lord of the Rings thing? Is that the movie?"
"Uh-huh. Came out yesterday."
"Is it something we can play?"
"Well yeah..."
"Is that a good price?"
"Yes, actually. Very."
"Do you want it?"
"Florfle?"
"I'll get it for you if you want it."
"Splorg?"
"You've got to pick one out because I don't know how to pick the right one."
"Maif! Nnnifle!"
"Well, I want to see the guy's head get cut off again."
"Furggh!"
"You're welcome."
She agrees that the only thing that could make the movie better for her would be the presence of Tommy Lee Jones.
