Elizabeth:  Fewer and fewer people are eating swordfish.

Maddie:  What are you talking about?

Elizabeth:  Because of the mercury.  Swordfish are at the top of the food chain.

Maddie:  What?!

Elizabeth:  A little fish eats something with a little bit of mercury.  Another fish eats a bunch of little fish and has more mercury.  Then a swordfish eats a bunch of the middle-sized fish and has a lot of mercury.

Maddie:  Oh.  (very slight pause).  Are the Kardashians on TV?
