I'm Regis Philbin, and in the chair opposite me is... TiVo! He's going for ONE MILLION dollars, so—Let's Play! (The music builds.) Which of the following can you NOT do:
(TiVo squirms in his seat. This is big money, and he only has one lifeline left.) TiVo: Can I phone a friend? Regis: Sure! (They ring the nominated number. It rings.) TiVo: Hello, ReplayTV? I don't actually need any help—I've just called to let you know that I'VE WON A MILLION DOLLARS! (Sounds of cursing on the other end of the line.) TiVo: The answer is D! Regis: Confident? TiVo: Yes! Regis: Final answer? TiVo: Yes! It's D! Regis: Are you absolutely sure? TiVo: YES! IT'S D! D! D!!! Regis: (Pauses... you know, if you had a TiVo you could skim through this pause or anything else on your TV screen.) He GOT IT RIGHT! (Audience goes wild, and everyone rushes out to buy a TiVo.)
