R: Here we go. I think E wants some more. I can see by the look in her eye.

E: I'm good. It was good.

S: Thanks.

R: (laughs) Carrie, are you appreciating my appetite?

C: Yeah!

(simultaneously)with C M: Did you like that movie?

A: Um, yeah. I mean it wasn't like--

M: The reaction (points to R, meaning, the same reaction he had to it)

A: Yeah, but it was- Honestly, I didn't have high expectations for it, so I wasn't disappointed, you know. It was different. I hate-it's kinda like what you were saying-I hate

R: (to someone else) Why don't you try- literally, it's vegetables.

A: That kind of graphic, you know, violence, or just-I don't know.

R: (to someone else) It's just literally tempura and vegetables.

S: What movie did you see?

M: Pan's Labyrinth. It's like-

R: You saw that? [Sarcasm; he saw it with M.]

M: But he, he was totally engrossed. Amy and I-

R: What?!

S: Is it a horror movie or-

A: No. It's actually not. And there's not that many scenes that are graphic, but the ones that are
are just like very-

M: I closed my eyes. (To the group) Have y'all seen Pan's Labyrinth?

R: I have. Oh, wait. You know that, though.

M: It's in Spanish. It's a very Mexican film director.

R: Spanish.

M: No, I looked it up. It's Mexican. But the other guy, the Pedro Almavoder, that's-

R: Volver. I saw that today.

M: Is Volver good?

R: Volver is a great movie. I-I-I-I'm not kidding. You should-you should see it with your mother if you get a chance. Like it's one of those movies that, I-I-I actually would love to see it with my mothers and my sisters. I'd probably invite my dad, though.

T: What movie?

R: Uh, Volver. It's a Penelope Cruz. It's a Spanish movie.

M: Is that why you liked that movie?

R: It didn't hurt.

E: What movie?

R: Volver. It's a Pedro Almovadar movie. It's, it's a very good movie. Kinda revolves around the
relationships between mothers and daughters. But it's a great storyline around it. It's really good.

M: Um, did you enjoy it more than Pan's? Or it's just different?

R: It's different. I actually might've enjoyed it more than Pan's.

E: Is it, um, subtitles?

M: The good thing about foreign films in the U.S. is that we don't dub them.

R: (responding to E) It is subtitled. That, both of them are, the Pan's Labyrinth and- I actually understood Volver a lot easier than I did Pan's Labyrinth.

M: Really?!

R: Yeah.
