“So what brings you here, kid?”

“I’m not a kid, Stan. I’m a man of twenty. And I’m here to tell you that it’s over between you and your wife.”

“Did she send you here, kid?”

“I’m no kid, Stan. And Leah and I are leaving tonight.”

“Kid, I hate to break it to you, but you’re not going anywhere.”

“And how do you plan to stop us, Stan?”

“I don’t have to do anything, kid. See, you’re like a Black & Decker CP120B 20 Watt Power Backup Battery Pack. You’re eager, you’re full of energy, you’re ready for anything… but you can’t handle anything over 20 watts. You don’t know how, kid. And a woman like Leah, well… she’s a lot more power than you’re ready for.”

“I don’t care what you say, Stan. I’m going to take her out of this sham of a marriage and we’ll be… Leah!”

“Oh!”

“Darling, the kid here says you’re going to leave me, leave all of this behind. For him. Is that true?”

“Leah, tell him you’re leaving with me. Tell him and let’s get out of here forever! Just you and I, the way we planned!”

“I’m… I’m sorry, Stan. I… I don’t know who this person is.”

“Leah!”

“You shouldn’t have come here. I’m sorry. I’m… so sorry.”

“Leah! Leah!”

“See, kid, I tried to tell you. A Black & Decker CP120B 20 Watt Power Backup Battery Pack is great for a very specific sort of thing… but it isn’t much good for anything else. Show yourself out, okay, kid? I’ve got an empire to run.”
