And I was overhearing people saying things that stuck in my mind. A person in line behind me at Starbucks on February 7, 2004, (I remember the date because I quit Microsoft the day before) comments to another person, in the only words they shared, that "after all that, he quits." I thought about that for a long time.

The Twilight Zone

A Kind of a Stopwatch

Quotes

Narrator: Submitted for your approval, or at least your analysis: one Patrick Thomas McNulty... who, at age forty-one, is the biggest bore on Earth. He holds a ten-year record for the greatest number of the most meaningless words ever spewed out during a coffee break. And it's very likely that, as of this moment, he would have gone through life in precisely this manner: a long-winded and self-centered know-it-all whose sole significant, if hardly marketable, talent is for setting the art of conversation back a thousand years... give or take a century. I say he very likely would have, except for something that will soon happen to him... something that will considerably alter his existence, and ours. You think about that now, because this is The Twilight Zone.

A Kind of a Stopwatch

Quotes

Joe: Done for the night, McNulty? Everybody's gone, you happy? You bored ten people to death. You emptied my place like it had a smallpox sign out there. Do me a favor, will you, McNulty? Whenever you get the thirst, go to some other bar.

[drops the beer glass he was holding]

McNulty: [presses the button of a stopwatch he was given by another man who left the bar] I don't feel much like going home. I've seen the movie on the late show. I've even seen the movie on the late late show. Sometimes I even wished I was married. Do you ever get that feeling...

[turns to see that Joe is frozen in place]

McNulty: Joe? Joe. Hey, why you standing that way? Joe? Hey, Joe, say something. You look like you were frozen. All I was doing was telling you how bored I was. And this crazy gleep gave me this watch, and I sat here and I pressed it.

[presses the button again, and Joe starts moving normally]

Joe: And that's another thing, McNulty. You make me nervous. First, you come in here, you bore people to death, and then you make me nervous.

McNulty: I make you nervous?

Joe: You know, something, McNulty? You're the one guy that makes me wish they never repealed prohibition.

[McNulty presses the watch button, and Joe freezes in place. McNulty walks up behind Joe]

McNulty: Something tells me this is a very unusual watch.

"A Kind of a Stopwatch"

Mr. Cooper: (about Cooper Corporation:) It doesn't have anything to do with hamburgers, hot dogs, tin cans or national defense. And not one of your 340 suggestions- i repeat, not one of them- has anything remotely to do with this company's product.
