Jolene:

You already helped me a lot. I think I’m good with finishing it on my own.

Adam:

What about your letter? That movie critic seemed like kind of a jerk.

Jolene:

That’s basically a defining trait for movie critics.

Adam:

So you’ll try to talk to him?

Jolene:

I already did.

Adam:

You did? When?

Jolene:

Earlier today.

Adam:

And you asked him about writing you a letter?

Jolene:

Yeah, and he was cool about it. He needs to make sure I’m serious, so he wants to test my knowledge of cinema first. Stuff like that.

Adam:

Seriously, he’s giving you homework?

Jolene:

It’s not homework. He wants me to watch movies.

Adam:

Okay, but if he tries to make you watch Citizen Kane, lie and say you already saw it.

Jolene:

Citizen Kane is like the most famous movie ever made.

Adam:

It’s also the dullest. I had to watch it in school once.

Jolene:

I’ll watch whatever he wants. I need that letter.
