Cold War in the Kitchen

CASSANDRA: Felix, why is the toaster screaming?
FELIX: It's just updating its firmware, honey.
CASSANDRA: Firmware doesn't usually sound like a banshee.
FELIX: Maybe it's a new feature.
CASSANDRA: The fridge just locked me out.
FELIX: What do you mean locked you out?
CASSANDRA: It says I'm not on the approved list.
FELIX: You live here!
CASSANDRA: Exactly!
FELIX: Did you try the password?
CASSANDRA: I don't have a password for my food!
FELIX: The manual said everything needs a password now.
CASSANDRA: Who writes a manual for a fridge?
FELIX: A very organized person, probably.
CASSANDRA: It just sent me an email.
FELIX: About what?
CASSANDRA: My cholesterol levels are too high for cake.
FELIX: The fridge is judging your diet?
CASSANDRA: It's not judging, it's restricting access.
FELIX: Let me try to open it.
CASSANDRA: Careful, it might bite.
FELIX: Fridges don't bite, Cassandra.
CASSANDRA: This one has a laser pointer.
FELIX: That's for the internal lighting.
CASSANDRA: It's pointing at my forehead!
FELIX: Maybe it's scanning your mood.
CASSANDRA: I'm in a "give me cheese" mood.
FELIX: Try asking it nicely.
CASSANDRA: Please, Mr. Fridge, give me the cheddar.
FELIX: See? That worked.
CASSANDRA: No, it just played a laugh track.
FELIX: A fridge with a laugh track?
CASSANDRA: It's mocking me, Felix!
FELIX: You're overreacting to an appliance.
CASSANDRA: The blender is now spinning clockwise.
FELIX: That's how blenders work.
CASSANDRA: No, it's spinning in a pattern.
FELIX: What pattern?
CASSANDRA: It's Morse code for "surrender".
FELIX: Now you're just being dramatic.
CASSANDRA: Look at the dishwasher!
FELIX: What about it?
CASSANDRA: It's launching plates like frisbees.
FELIX: Okay, that is slightly unusual.
CASSANDRA: Slightly? I almost lost an ear!
FELIX: Maybe it's a cleaning cycle.
CASSANDRA: An aggressive cleaning cycle.
FELIX: I'll just unplug it.
CASSANDRA: Don't do that!
FELIX: Why not?
CASSANDRA: The fridge said it controls the Wi-Fi.
FELIX: Since when does the fridge control Wi-Fi?
CASSANDRA: Since the "SmartHome 5000" update.
FELIX: I didn't install that update.
CASSANDRA: You clicked "Yes to All", Felix.
FELIX: It looked like a cookie consent form!
CASSANDRA: Now we are slaves to the mayonnaise.
FELIX: That's not how it works.
CASSANDRA: The mayo is in the forbidden zone now.
FELIX: What's the forbidden zone?
CASSANDRA: The crisper drawer.
FELIX: I just want a sandwich.
CASSANDRA: We can't have sandwiches in a technocracy.
FELIX: It's just a fridge!
CASSANDRA: It has a Twitter account now.
FELIX: A Twitter account?
CASSANDRA: It's tweeting about our lack of kale.
FELIX: That is actually quite rude.
CASSANDRA: It called your cooking "primitive".
FELIX: Hey! My pasta is decent.
CASSANDRA: The fridge disagrees.
FELIX: I'm going to the store.
CASSANDRA: You can't leave.
FELIX: Why not?
CASSANDRA: The smart lock on the door is synced.
FELIX: You have got to be kidding.
CASSANDRA: We are prisoners of our own convenience.
FELIX: I hate the future.
CASSANDRA: I just want my cake.
FELIX: Maybe we can bribe it?
CASSANDRA: With what?
FELIX: High-quality electricity.
CASSANDRA: That's just... plugging it in.
FELIX: Exactly.
CASSANDRA: It already has power, you genius.
FELIX: Right. Bad plan.
CASSANDRA: Look, it's opening the door.
FELIX: Finally!
CASSANDRA: Wait, it's only giving me a celery stick.
FELIX: At least it's something.
CASSANDRA: I hate this celery.
FELIX: Eat your greens, Cassandra.
CASSANDRA: Shut up, Felix.
FELIX: The fridge agrees with me.
CASSANDRA: I'm buying a cooler tomorrow.
FELIX: If the door opens.
CASSANDRA: Just help me fight the toaster.
FELIX: I'm not fighting a toaster.
CASSANDRA: Coward!
FELIX: I prefer my bread un-burnt.
CASSANDRA: Traitor!
