Doomed
[flipping through channels on television]
"Which movie is this?"
"Ooh, it's Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom."
"Related to Raiders of the Lost Ark, right?"
"I haven't seen this since I was a kid! All I remember is how bad it was."
"I think I heard that the worst part of the movie is that the woman won't stop screaming, if this is the one I'm thinking of."
"Yeah, that's probably right."
"Wait a minute, weren't they just in Shanghai?"
"Yeah."
"Since when was Shanghai in the middle of a desert?"
"I don't know. That's definitely not the terrain just West of Shanghai though."
"Oh wow, and now they're in. . . ."
"Is that Canada?"
"I don't know."
"How did they get from the top of the Himalayas down into a raging river in Canada in like 20 seconds?"
"I don't think it's supposed to be Canada. It's supposed to be Nepal or India or something."
"But look at the trees! Those are . . . douglas firs and stuff."
"India is having a temperate year, maybe."
"Maybe. There's no way all that water could come just from the snow. And it would be freezing!"
"Maybe that's why they're still screaming."
"And wait a minute! Are they speaking French?!?"
"No. It can't be, right? I haven't been listening. Either that or screams sound the same in any language."
"No, they're really speaking French. Listen."
"Oh my God, you're right."
"We've been watching this stupid movie dubbed in French for twenty minutes."

"Do you want to change the channel?"
"Not really."
"Me neither."
