Tech Supervisor: I can transfer you to our sister service, Morwen Counseling, Inc. if you would like...
Túrin: No! Wait, please. I'm convinced that it speaks to me.
Tech Supervisor: It speaks? Really? I've always wanted one of those but they were always a customer only product.
Túrin: I don't like that feature. How do I turn it off?
Tech Supervisor: I don't know. There's nothing about that on the screen here in front of me.
Túrin: You're using a screen?
Tech Supervisor: Swords 1.0. The boss doesn't want to pay the license for 1.5.
Túrin: I hate you. I want to return the sword. Now.
Tech Supervisor: Please hold.
