Sleepy in Denial

Rocco has a habit of falling asleep to movies but denying that he's asleep, despite evidence to the contrary (i.e. snoring).

Rocco, C-Ott and I are watching Deathproof.

Me: Are you sleeping?
Rocco: No! Why do you keep asking me that?
Me: I thought you were snoring...
Rocco: I'm watching!
...Snoring commencing after a few minutes...
Me: You're asleep!
Rocco: No, I'm not.
C-Ott: Oh yeah? How many of them were in the car?
Rocco: Four! (Right)
C-Ott: No, there were five.
Rocco: Right, right. Five.

Later...

C-Ott: And what are they doing?
Rocco, looking at the screen where the girls are eating: They're having lunch.
C-Ott: And what are they talking about?
Rocco, hesitant: They're talking about...eating lunch.
Me: Uh-huh...and who flipped them off earlier, in the car?
Rocco: Uh, Kurt Russell.
Me: Right... well, no one flipped them off.
Rocco: Are you sure?
