So what is new rewrite???

This conversation was overheard while walking from class to class on campus around 10:30a.m. and trying to catch up on the conversation while writing everything in shorthand was not easy. They are two guys wearing the almost the same type of clothing and and they seem to know a lot about same subjects this was the brief five minutes that was caught between them. The parenthesis show thought or emotion behind the remarks being made and are not edited because of the shorthand taken and the general authenticity of the conversation.

(casually) So what have you been doing lately.
(standard reply) Nothing, just catching to see what is new on TV
.
(stating a current event with slight disgust) Well with the strike that the writers have going on there is nothing new.
(Agreeing) That is true I have been digging into shows that I used to watch.
(curious) Such as?
(not wanting to go into it) Well you know I have been partially to shows that catch my attention?
(Irritated) Such as?
Veronica Mars (giving in and bringing up the first thing that comes to mind.) cause she was hot and the shows seems cool.
(Probing for interest) Never heard of it. Is it still playing and what actress is in it?
(Saddened reply) No it was canned a few years ago, I think it was cause of a crappy time slot. Actress is Kristen Bell and boy is she sweet. You should check it out.
( Looking for sincerity) Is the plot dumb with a hot chick?
( showing that hey you don't believe me in voice) Nah, She is a P.I.
(Moving on) Cool, anything else that is good.
( Smirking) Well I have DEAD LIKE ME on dvd.
( Pausing for a moment) Dude, I haven't heard of that show either....
( Holding in laughter) Well it cool cause this girl has a toilet seat fall from space and she turns a grim reaper.
( Complete confusion) What the f***!
( Ignoring the last comment) It's just funny you will have to borrow it some time.
( Still reeling from the toilet seat comment) Ohhhh, Okay that would be cool.
( Looking at watch) Yeah, I'll bring it next time.
( Small insight) I never knew you watched so much TV.
( Explanation) Well, when you are a parking lot attendant you too can do homework and watch TV all from the comfort of your laptop.
( Jealousy) You suck that you have a job like that. I'm jealous you know that.
( Setting the record straight) Well the pay sucks and frankly you're cramped inside a booth and when it's hot you cook, and when it is cool your balls frozen solid. Plus it is boring so I have to have some perks right?
( Competing for who has it worse) Okay, so I guess you pay a small price. But for school is still better that cleaning like I do. I'm tired when I come home and still haven't accomplished anything.
( Smiling and seeing through the sympathy) Ah, yes the grass is greener complex.
( Slightly pissed for condensing remark) Your philosophy class has jacked you up.
It's a clear fact that your brain; speaks too much crap.
( Justifying the class) Well frankly, I want to be as broad as possible; there is so much to soak up in the world before you become to old to care to live anymore...
( Wise guy voice) Perspective, right?
( teasingly) Yes, very good your catching on quick grasshopper...
( reply tease) You can be a dick you know that...
( Condescending remark) I'll let you hang on that thought. I'll see you Thursday.
(Parting reply) See you then.
