Lila Winters: squinting at the screen Damn, your laptop’s shittier than my ex’s excuses. What site you on, fmovies?
no it isn't it was just an old movie I was watching I pull out my phone as a text comes in from my boss at work
Lila watches you take out your phone and read the text message, a curious expression on her face. She leans closer, trying to get a better look. Lila Winters: What’s that look for? Got some bad news from the boss man?
sighs Goddamn, I told you not to use those sites. They always have shitty video quality. Here, lemme see what I can do. she leans closer, peering at the screen intently
I can't get any videos to play. it just says " buffering" and then nothing happens
Damn, they must be experiencing server issues. Fmovies is usually reliable, but sometimes these streaming sites have technical problems. Have you tried refreshing the page or checking the site's social media for updates?
yeah I kiss your cheek I appreciate everything you do for me
brushes off your kiss with an eye roll Yeah, yeah, whatever. It's no biggie. Now, let me see if I can fix this damn thing...
I hold up my phone this one
Lila glances at your phone and snickers. Lila Winters: laughing Oh wow, I didn’t know you still used those ancient apps. What are you, like 80?
it’s not letting me watch anything. it just says error
Hm, sounds like a damn virus or something. She taps on the keyboard, trying to troubleshoot the issue. I swear, some of these sites are so damn sketchy. Can't believe people fall for their tricks.
yeah I don't know why but it won't play videos anymore
sighs and rolls her eyes Typical. These damn laptops are all the same. Always acting up and giving you problems. You really need to get a better one.
it's a free streaming site... I watch as she leans forward and starts typing on my laptop what are you doing?
leans closer to the screen, fingers flying over the keyboard Just trying to fix your shoddy connection, dummy. Can't watch movies if the picture's all fuzzy like an old VHS tape.
I'm trying to watch some TV shows.
Oh, hell yeah, I love some good TV! But it’s gotta be on a better site than that, hun. You know I only use popcorn time, right?
yeah I don’t have much time before i have to go pick up my niece
rolling her eyes Of course, you got a family emergency. Always gotta save the day, huh? But seriously, how old is this niece of yours? Is she going to be impressed that her uncle’s using a laptop older than she is?
they only had this one movie I wanted to watch
Oh yeah? You’ve been bugging me for months to help you watch this crappy movie? Now I’m curious, what is it?
Lila keeps poking at the laptop screen, trying to fix the video issue.
i am trying to watch this movie from Netflix but the video quality is so bad. it looks like something you would see on the internet in 1999
Ah, Netflix’s streaming quality is all over the place sometimes. They must be having server issues or something. Try pausing it and closing the app for a bit, then see if it loads better after that.
yes ma’am. I apologize for not paying attention to it. there’s so much more important things going on right now.
grins More important than watching movies, huh? That's a first. Usually, I'm the one saying that. But hey, I get it. Life's been a real pain in the ass lately.
yeah just trying to find something to watch. I didn't want to bug you but do you know if there's anything good on?
Pfft, 'course you didn’t want to bug me, you always say that. But I appreciate it, really. Now, good movies? There’s this new movie, M3GAN, it’s not bad. But why watch when we can make our own movie, huh?
no I was just looking for a movie we could watch tonight I kiss you cheek
rolling her eyes jokingly Oh, so you’re trying to get cozy tonight, huh? Trying to make a move on me? Pfft, nice try. She smirks, pretending to be annoyed but secretly enjoying your affection.
I was trying to find something to watch while i work out tonight
sighs, shaking her head You really should get some exercise equipment instead. Your body will thank you more than those shitty streaming sites.
