Abel, the Cable Guy
- Abel, the Cable Guy: [the TV goes out at a crucial point in her soaps, so she calls the repairman] Hi. I'm Abel, with the cable.
- Janet: [almost overwhelmed by his studliness] I'm sure you are. Ah-hah. I mean, Hi! Come in. I'm glad you're here, 'cause "Tomorrow" starts in an hour.
- Abel, the Cable Guy: What?
- Janet: My story... "There's Always Tomorrow". It's a soap opera.
- Abel, the Cable Guy: [seeming to pick up on her attraction to him, he delivers seductively] So where do you want it?
- Janet: Huh?
- Abel, the Cable Guy: Your box.
- Janet: Excuse me?
- Abel, the Cable Guy: The cable box. Where do you want it?
- Janet: Well, I need it more than once. I mean, I need it in different rooms. I mean, can you do it in the bedroom, too?
- Abel, the Cable Guy: No problem.
- Janet: Great. Heh. Great. Ehhh, will it take long?
- Abel, the Cable Guy: Nah. I run a line in from the street, do the first installation, bing, bang, boom. The second one usually takes longer. But it's more fun, if you know what I mean.
- Janet: Uh-huh.
- Abel, the Cable Guy: [he picks up two ends of cable] Now. Male... into female.
- Janet: Input...
- Abel, the Cable Guy: Output. Finished. You're all hooked up.
- Janet: Y'got... quite a tool there. It's huge.
- Abel, the Cable Guy: It's not the size of the tool, ma'am. It's how you use it.
- Janet: You certainly know how to use it. How many installations have you done in one day?
- Abel, the Cable Guy: Fifteen. My Phillips did so much screwing, I thought the tip would fall off.
- Janet: [in a whisper] Oh, God.
