Remote Control

It is 7.23am.  The sane world is trying to sleep.  I am trying to join them.  It is impossible.  I am on a train. 
A single broken phone call pierces the silence.
“Is it plugged in?
“It’s connected by a black wire that goes in the back.  Can you see a black wire?  Can you see the plug?
“Is the socket switched on?  The switch needs to show red.  At the top.  Next to the plug.  On the switch.  Yes.  Red.
“Is there a green light on the front?  No not on the plug.  On the television.
“It’s not red?  Green, right?  Okay.  Try the remote.  Press Standby button.
“Do you remember the button I couldn’t describe to you last time?  Use that one.
“Yes the one that looks a bit like a lollipop.
“Has it?  Good.  See you later, Darling.  Bye bye.”

Great instructions.

You're right but I couldn't make out if the instructions were for a partner or child! c.
