Sarah: Let me watch Buffy!
Mom: No, dear. I'm watching Sex and the City.
Sarah: Mom, you said that show was too obscene.
Mom: For you, but I can watch it. So go do your homework.
Sarah: It's finished...and Tommy and his friends are hogging the TV in the game room.
Mom: You can have the TV when I'm finished. Angel is on. You like that.
Sarah: How can I go to school tomorrow if I don't watch Buffy, Mom!
