"Are you texting us? Because we're the ones talking to you."
Oh, snap! Courtesy of Law & Order: Criminal Intent "Rispetto." Detective Goren said this while trying to get information from a business associate of a suspect, who was blandly flipping through his emails while being interviewed.

The episode was named for the Italian word meaning "respect." Certainly when I am sitting at a table with another person I would prefer if they didn't whip out their toy while I am telling them a story and proceed to have a texted conversation with someone else while emitting unconvincing "uh-huh"s to prove they're listening.
I would also like to express my belated condolences upon the demise of Criminal Intent. You will be missed.
Oh, Bobby . . . (As in Robert Goren, not my grandmother).
