He opens up a chat program called "mIRC" and enters the chat room called #chat_connection. His handle is <Da-G>. He types:

Ori is walking through "the hood" with his POSSE of 2 or 3 other guys like he owns the place. He is a gangster in all his slimy glory, with gold chains dangling from his neck and real ghetto ware hanging from his wiry frame. He another RANDOM GANGSTER who accidentally bumps into him.

Yeah mom. OK. I will.

Mrs. Wolkowitz

All right. Bye honey!

Mrs. Wolkowitz hangs up the phone and looks around her room and outside her door to make sure no one is watching her. She enters the mIRC chat program. Her nickname is <viXen>. She enters a chat room called #hot_love. <DaG> is in there along with a bunch of other people.

montage

WE SEE some quick flashes of the words that ORI and MRS. WOLKOWITZ are typing. WE SEE "body", "sex", "hard" and others. Interspersed with the text is a fantasy scene of a SEXY MAN and SEXY WOMAN lying provocatively on a bed and shots of Ori and Mrs. Wolkowitz typing furiously. The sequence ends with a knock at Mrs. Wolkowtiz's door.
