JODIE: OH EVERYBODY CHECK THIS OUT.
ELI: WHAT IS IT?
JODIE: I WENT TO THE APPLE STORE AND GOT AN IPAD.
ELI: NO! NO!
JODIE: WHATS WRONG WITH AN IPAD?
ELI: WHATS WRONG WITH AN IPAD? WHATS WRONG WITH AN IPAD? NOW YOUR GONNA BE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO WALKS AROUND WITH THEIR IPAD TO GET ATTENTION.
JODIE: I DIDN'T GET IT FOR ATTENTION.
ELI: WELL THAN WHAT DID YOU GET IT FOR?
JODIE: BECAUSE IT LOOKED COOL.
ELI: SO YOU JUST WENT INTO THE APPLE STORE AND JUSTGOT AND IPAD. YOU DON'T GO IN THERE WITH OUT HAVING A CLEAR PICTURE IN YOUR MIND OF WHAT YOU WANT.
