Hello?

Can you hear me?

Can you—hello?

Are you there?

Hello?

Can you hear me?

Can you?

You can?

Hello?

Oh, good.

Now can you see me?

No, I can’t.

I said I can’t—

No, I said I—

NO! I CANNOT SEE YOU!

Hello?

Okay,

is your webcam on?

Press the camera button—

the camera button.

No, the one of the camera,

with the image of the camera.

It has a camera on it.

A camera.

The camera button—

Yes, that one,

the one with the camera.

Hello?

Okay, I can see you now.

Yes—

you can’t?

Well, did you press the mic button?

Yes, the mic button—

with the microphone?

You did?

But you can’t see—hello?

You can’t see me?

I think that’s on your side—

You’ve pressed the button with the camera?

And the one with the mic?

I don’t understand.

My side is not the problem.

I just know!

I KNOW WHICH BUTTON I NEED TO PRESS!

Yes, I know,

I pressed the one with the mic.

Yes!

YES OF COURSE I PRESSED THE CAM—oh,

there we go.

So

Good.

I’m breaking up with you.

Hello?
