Act 2, Scene 4: "Water World"

The Apex Neverkink and the ReelSmart have let TRL down. The point at which these two items come together has opened up slightly, causing water to spray within the plastic housing and decreasing the pressure to the sprinkler. The lawn is thus denied the life-giving water it so desperately deserves, and a pool of water is forming under the ReelSmart. ReelDumb and Neverwork, says TRL. He is pissed, disappointed, heart-broken. This was the set-up that he fell in love with, the lawn gadget which was practical (keeping the hose neat and ordered when not in use) and wildly fun and empowering to use (viewing the hose suck back into its home was like watching a locomotive. Power and majesty fused with function). It now needs repair, if it can be fixed. It is too soon for this to happen. TRL hates these products. It’s an infatuation gone bad. The end of the honeymoon period. The lover in the morning, with the light shining in, is not who he thought she was. TRL wants his espresso maker dream back.
