The phone rang.
I picked it up. “Hello?”
“This movie **SUCKED!**” It was Mark. [1] He had just finished watching AI [2], the Stanley Kubrick as finished by Steven Spielberg “Down, not across” feel good film of 2001. “We wasted **FOUR** bucks on this piece of XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX!”
“Um … Mark … ”
“And it's **ALL YOUR FAULT!** You said this film was good but depressing.”
“It was! I found it horribly depressing, but it was a well done film. There was a reason I didn't come over and watch it again.”
“It's still your fault!”
“Didn't you listen to Spring [3]?”
“It sucked XXXXXXXXXX,” said Gerald. I could hear him yelling over the phone.
“Gee, I'm sorry guys,” I said. “I thought I warned you.”
“It's still your fault!”
“I'll make it up to you. How about we watch The Talented Mr. Ripley [4] on my dime? … Hello? … Hello? … ” He hung up.
