Nigel (looking at the new watch he received for his birthday): It’s been eighteen hours, six minutes, and thirty-seven seconds.

Aidan (without looking up from his book): Huh?

Nigel: I’m counting the hours, minutes, and seconds.

Aidan: Since what?

Nigel: Since today started.

[Aidan does not respond.]

Nigel (trying to pique his brother’s interest): This is American machinery we’re dealing with.

Aidan (without skipping a beat): It was probably made in China.
