"Give me the remote, Malcolm! It's my turn to watch TV!"
"Not a chance, Reese. I'm about to watch 'The Lord of the Rings.'"
"I couldn't care less about your nerd movie! Wrestling is about to start!"
"Oh, sure, because watching sweaty guys pretend to hit each other is so much better..."
"At least it doesn't last three hours! Give me that remote!"
"Let go! You're going to break it like last time!"
"That was because YOU didn't let go!"
"Wait, Reese... did you know that it's scientifically proven that watching wrestling lowers your IQ?"
"What? That's a lie!"
"It's true. I read it in a scientific magazine. In fact, every episode you watch makes you lose approximately 2.5 IQ points."
"But... but I don't want to get dumber..."
"And considering your current intellectual level, if I were you, I wouldn't risk it."
"Then why does Dad watch wrestling?"
"Do you really need me to answer that?"
"Good point... But I still want to watch TV."
"Look, let's make a deal. If you let me watch my movie, I'll explain how quantum theory works so you can recover the IQ points you've lost watching wrestling."
"Would you really do that for me?"
"Of course, it's what a good brother would do."
"Alright... but you better keep your promise."
"Sure, sure. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date with Frodo."
Reese sighs and walks away from the couch.
"I can't believe I keep falling for this..."
Malcolm whispers to himself.
"Hey! Wait a minute! You tricked me!"
"Too late, Reese. The movie has already started."
"I'm gonna...!"
"Shh! This is the best part, when Gandalf..."
"MALCOLM!"
"If you break something, I'll tell Mom it was you who used her face cream as toothpaste."
Reese growls.
"I hate you."
"I know. Now shut up or you'll miss the part where they decapitate the orc."
"Do they really decapitate someone? Maybe this movie isn't so nerdy after all..."
"Sit down and learn, dear brother. Sit down and learn."
"Fine, but you still owe me."
Malcolm rolls his eyes.
"I'll let you fuck me while wearing a maid outfit. Happy?"
"Very. You better get ready, little brother."
