w kwestii emocji

'from the bedroom Iran's voice came. "i can't stand tv before breakfast."
"dial 888," Rick said as the set warmed. "the desire to watch tv, no matter what's on it."
"i don't feel like dialing anything at all now," Iran said.
"then dial 3," he said.
"i can't dial a setting that stimulates my cerebral cortex into wanting to dial! if i don't want to dial, i don't want to dial the most of all, because then i will want to dial,and wanting to dial is right now the most alien drive i can imagine; i just want to sit here on the bed and stare at the floor."'
