Chapter 11
"Why are we watching this?"
"Because I love this movie."
"How can you love this?
"It's a classic. What's not to love?"
"It's so unrealistic."
"C'mon now. It's not that bad."
"Yes it is."
"No its not.
"Fine. Tell me what it's about again."
"What?! No, I'm trying to watch."
"Please?"
"No."
"Maybe I'll like it if you explain it to me in the way only you can."
"That's not gonna work."
"You didn't even try."
"It didn't work the last time."
"C'mon!"
"FINE!" Glares. "These two women are sisters and everyone is trying to marry them off. One of them is sensible and calm about choosing who she likes and the other just throws caution to the wind. What do you think?"
"I think I want to watch American Choppers."
"Told you."
"Well, I do. It's the one where that guy gets mad and then they almost don't make the deadline."
"You've just described every episode of American Choppers."
"Shut up."
"Could you just let me watch this?"
"It's not a classic, you know. It was only made a few years ago."
"I know, but the book is a classic. You've read the book, right?"
Shakes head no.
"How could you not have read the book? Besides, this version is awesome. Emma Thompson kicks ass. The scene at the end where she finds out he's not married and they all just get up and walk out -- it's too cool."
"If you say so."
"And this guy on the screen here, Mr. Palmer, he's hilarious."
"He's an ass.
"Well you should love him then."
"Ha ha."
"It's just so antiquated and stupid. Why should these women sit around and let the guy make the first move? What does that accomplish?"
"Well it worked for you, didn't it?" House said as he turned to look at Cameron, who was snuggled into his side on the couch.
She slid her hand into her pocket and caressed the keys residing there. "I suppose it did."
She cuddled up closer and watched the rest of the movie with House.
Author's Note: All right. Who figured it out? Raise your hands! LOL!
