Gucci: I’ve heard The Hitchhiker would be on next week. I want to see it.
May: Is it horror movie?
Gucci: Yeah, I love horror movies the most. Would you like to go with me next weekend?
May: No way. I will be scared out of my wits.
Gucci: Well, What kind of movies do you like?
May: Er, let me see. Romance, comedy, documentary, action, science fiction, cartoon and so on.
Gucci: In a word, you like all the movies except for the horror movies.
May: Yeah, It seems like we don’t talk the same language as far as movies are concerned.
Gucci: Not quite. I also like romance and comedy movies very much.
May: The Terminal is a movie of this type.
Gucci: So we can relax now.
May: Yeah, I could hardly wait to see it.
