Derek

John:  Ya know, Halloween’s coming up, Derek. Gonna see any scary movies?

Derek:  I might do that. Do you have any in mind that you might see?

John:  Um, I’m not sure what’s new, but there are always the classics, like The Exorcist.

Derek:  Yeah. There’s always that one. Or, uh, more recent is The Blair Witch Project.

John:  Oh yeah. Ya know when I watched that, I didn’t know the truth behind the whole story, so I was really scared.

Derek:  Yeah. Even though I went in with knowing a little bit about the background of it, still, when I got home it was kind of a delayed reaction. I got nervous when I went to sleep.

John:  Yeah. It totally made me nervous, too. I didn’t, I didn’t wanna turn the lights out.

Derek:  Yeah. I thought about, um, calling some friends up and just hanging out all night rather than go to sleep.

John:  I had to leave the lights on. I don’t think I even slept at all.

Derek:  Yeah. It’s one of those movies that you probably won’t see again.

John:  Except for this Halloween, right?

Derek:  This is true.
