A: "What type of movies do you like?"  B: "I like all sorts of movies, primarily drama and science fiction."  A: "That's an interesting combination. How about western movies?"  B: "Western and horror are the two types of movies I don't care for."  A: "Why don't you like horror? They're entertaining."  B: "Some are entertaining, but I find most of them stupid and childish. For example, I don't understand why a person always goes into the house alone when something is suspicious."  A: "Ha ha. I know what you mean. But it's just a movie. They need for the characters to do that."

I'll give it a try."  B: "That's the spirit. I'll see you tomorrow after class."  A: "Ok. See you tomorrow."
