INT. HARDWARE STORE - DAY

MAN comes up to the EMPLOYEE at the customer service desk with a chainsaw. Closed captioning will be seen at the bottom of the screen as the two talk.

Employee
Can I help you, sir?

CLOSED CAPTION: CAN I HELP YOU, SIR?

Man
Yes. It's about this chainsaw that I bought a few hours ago.

CLOSED CAPTION: YES. IT'S ABOUT THIS CHAINSAW THAT I BOUGHT A FEW HOURS AGO.

Employee
Well, what's wrong with it?

CLOSED CAPTION: WELL, WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT?

Man
Well, after I bought it, I took it home and decided to start using it on a hedge that I have out on the front lawn.

CLOSED CAPTION: I MISSED YOU. WHERE WERE YOU LAST NIGHT?

Employee
And the hedge broke the chainsaw. We can't help you there.

CLOSED CAPTION: I WAS AT A BAR WITH SOME OF MY FRIENDS ALL RIGHT!

Man
No, the hedge didn't break the chainsaw. It was already broken.

CLOSED CAPTION: YOU HAVE TIME FOR YOUR FRIENDS BUT NOT FOR ME.

Employee
The hedge was already broken?

CLOSED CAPTION: I'M IN LOVE WITH ANOTHER MAN.

Man
No. The hedge wasn't broken. The chainsaw was broken.

CLOSED CAPTION: IS HE BETTER LOOKING THAN I AM?

Employee
Well, the manager's not going to like this.

CLOSED CAPTION: HE HAS BEAUTIFUL HANDS.

Man
What?

CLOSED CAPTION: BOTTOM?

Employee
I said the manager's not going to like this.

CLOSED CAPTION: HIS BOTTOM IS SUPERB.

Man
Oh.

CLOSED CAPTION: IF HIS BOTTOM IS SO GOOD, I WONDER IF HE'S THE SAME MAN THAT I HAVE ALSO FALLEN IN LOVE WITH.

The employee notices the super long caption.

Employee
Here. Is that your's?

CLOSED CAPTION: YOU DON'T THINK.

Man
What?

CLOSED CAPTION: I DO.

Employee
That caption.

CLOSED CAPTION: FEEL MY TUMMY.

Man
No. It's not mine.

CLOSED CAPTION: IT'S VERY RUMBLY.

MAN (CONT'D)
(looking very closely at the captions) Hey, these captions aren't even what we're saying.

CLOSED CAPTION: I LOVE TO EAT TIRES.

Employee
Well, maybe their French subtitles.

CLOSED CAPTION: I'M GLAD MY SCAB IS CLEARING UP.

Man
No. This is closed captioning.

CLOSED CAPTION: I'VE FALLEN OFF THE COUCH.

Employee
Well, we can't have this.

CLOSED CAPTION: LET'S RENT “HOME ALONE 2!”

Man
Yes. The hearing impaired are just going to have to do without. Start the show over.

CLOSED CAPTION: YES. THE HEARING IMPAIRED ARE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO DO WITHOUT. START THE SHOW OVER.
