Cole is sitting on the couch with her roommate Amber. They are watching Gladiator.
Cole: Amber?
Amber: Yes, Cole?
Cole: I’m trying to remember... do we like this movie?
Amber: I don’t think we hate it.
Cole: Is that what we’ve come to? We can stream pretty much whatever we want, but we wind up settling for something we don’t hate?
Amber: So change it.
Cole: Can’t. Too tired.
Amber: There you have it.
They continue watching.
Cole: It just really bothers me that the network thinks we’re watching this because we like it. I don’t want to give them the wrong idea. Like, what if all they want to do now is put on movies like this one?
Amber: I understand where you’re coming from, and I’m trying really hard to care, but I just don’t have the energy.
They continue watching.
Cole: Amber?
Amber: Yes, Cole?
Cole: How do we feel about Russell Crowe?
Amber: You mean do I think he’s hot?
Cole: I mean do you think he’s a good actor.
Amber: I don’t know. Maybe? I guess he gets the job done.
Cole: He can’t sing, though.
Amber: Yeah, there’s that. But, you know, that part wasn’t right for him. People fuck up sometimes. That doesn’t mean they’re bad at what they do. Like Affleck.
They continue watching.
Cole: I really wish I could change the channel.
Amber: Me too, Cole.
