"Okay, that's it. I can't figure it out."
"You can't-- you don't know what's wrong with my computer?"
"No. Everything should be working. Everything's working when you do it this way, and it's not working when you do it that way, but the registry entries are identical in both cases. It should be doing exactly the same thing. I don't know why it's not."
"You're saying there's no difference between the two set-ups. You're saying the condition where it's working is identical to the condition where it's not working."
"That's right."
"So... you're saying my computer has a psychosomatic illness."
"Um, I guess so."
"My computer's condition is psychosomatic. My computer has stigmata. You're saying my computer has stigmata. My computer is the Second Coming. The Second Coming is a computer that is supposed to be doing what I tell it to and is ignoring me. My computer is fucking Skynet!!"
"Take a deep breath."
"Screw that. I'll take a deep breath when I'm dead."
