ABBOTT: Your computer?
COSTELLO: I don't own a computer. I want to buy one.
ABBOTT: Mac?
COSTELLO: I told you, my name is Lou!
ABBOTT: What about Windows?
COSTELLO: Why? Will it get stuffy in here?
ABBOTT: Do you want a computer with windows?
COSTELLO: I don't know. What will I see when I
look in the windows?
ABBOTT: Wallpaper.
COSTELLO: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software.
ABBOTT: Software for windows?
COSTELLO: No. On the computer! I need something I can use to write proposals, track expenses and run my business. What have you got?
ABBOTT: Office.

COSTELLO: but there's three words in office for windows!
ABBOTT: no, just one. but its the most popular word in the world.
COSTELLO: it is?
ABBOTT: yes, but to be fair, there aren't many other words left. It pretty much wiped out all the other words out there.
COSTELLO: and that word is real one?
ABBOTT: real one has nothing to do with word. real one isn't even part of office.
COSTELLO: stop! Don't start that again. what about financial book keeping you have anything I can track my money with?
