M: I want to do something tonight for a change; let’s go to the movies.
W: In this heat? Are you joking?
M: We can go to an outdoor movie. Do you think I’d suggest an indoor one in the middle of the summer in San Diego?
W: I’d rather go out for a meal. The outdoor movies are so uncomfortable.
M: Why don’t we do both at the same time? We could pick up some take-away food and eat it in the movie.
W: That sounds like fun. But they never show any good films in the summer. At least not any of the new ones. All you get is the old classics. It’s just what we’ve seen half a dozen times.
M: But that’s why they’re classics. They’re worth seeing again and again.
W: Another objection to outdoor movies is that you can never hear properly. You hear all the traffic from outside.
M: Well, we can find a foreign film with printed translation at the bottom of the screen, then you don’t need to hear the sound. I think it would be fun to sit watching an old film and eating a meal at the same time.
W: Last time I went to an outdoor movie, I bought a bar of chocolate to eat as I went in. It was a horror film and I was so shocked I just sat there holding my bar of chocolate until the interval when I found it had melted in my hand and run all down my dress. That was an expensive evening out.
M: Well, we don’t go and see a horror film, darling t and take-away meals don’t melt.
