I Now Pronounce You, Uh…
Sales Associate: Welcome to Buy Barn, can I help you find anything?
Customer: Hi, I’m looking for the (PLAY-ner) PD 7130 720p Home Theater Projector. That’s the compact HD projector with the native 720p resolution, 4500:1 contrast ratio, and 900 lumens of brightness.
Sales Associate: I’m sorry, I don’t think we carry that brand.
Customer: Really? Because they’re pretty well-known. The PD 7130 has that Texas Instruments DarkChip technology. I’m trying to find it so I can use the S-video and composite connections to hook up my old Super Nintendo to it. (PLAY-ner)? Not ringing any bells?
Sales Associate: No, I can tell you categorically that we do not carry any projector by any company called (PLAY-ner).
Customer: Hmm. Yeah. Listen, I don’t want to make a big thing out of this, but a friend of mine just bought the (PLAY-ner) PD 7130 here, so if you could just check again for (PLAY-ner), I’d appreciate -
Sales Associate: Sir, I’m sorry, but I have other customers that need help, so unless there’s anything else…?
Customer: I just want you to check again. That’s all.
Sales Associate: OK, sure. (looks hastily around the store) Uh, nope, no (PLAY-ner).
Customer: Yeah, thanks. Can I speak to a manager?
Sales Associate: Fine. Steve! Steve! Got a minute to speak to this customer?
Manager: Sure, how can I help?
Customer: I was looking for a projector, the (PLAY-ner) PD 7130 -
Manager: We don’t carry it.
Customer: OK, if you say so – hey, wait a minute! There it is right there! The Planar PD 7130 Home Theater Projector! There's even a screen for it, too!
Manager: Oh, you mean the (pluh-NAR)!
Sales Associate: (pluh-NAR)? That’s pronounced (PLAH-ner).
Manager: No, I mean (pluh-NAR). P – L – A – N – A – R spells (pluh-NAR).
Sales Associate: You’re nuts. It’s obviously (PLAH-ner).
Manager: (pluh-NAR)!
Sales Associate: (PLAH-ner)!
Manager: (pluh-NAR)!
Sales Associate: (PLAH-ner)!
Customer: Actually, you know, I think I’ll spend my money somewhere else.
