Derek

John: Have you seen Zoolander Derek?

Derek: Yeah. That’s a great movie. I laughed a lot.

John: Yeah. I, I didn’t see it when it was in the theatres. But, recently my friend gave me the DVD. I’ve been watching it every day.

Derek: Every day?

John: Yeah. At least a couple times. I’m trying to memorize all the funny lines.

Derek: That’s what I was just gonna ask you.

John: What’s your favorite line in the movie?

Derek: Ya know, I don’t remember the lines too well.

John: That’s the best part, is to talk with your friends afterwards and joke about it.

Derek: That’s true. I guess I’ll have to see it again.

John: Like, remember when, um, uh, that one designer shows Zoolander the model home for kids? And Zoolander thought it was a home for ants and he got really angry?

Derek: Yeah. I think so.

John: Dude! That was the best part of the movie! How can you not remember that?

Derek: I saw it once.

John: I’ve seen it like twenty times.

Derek: Well, that’s why you remember it.

John: Maybe. You should check it out again. It’s good.

Derek: I think I’ll do that tonight.

Discussion

I can watch certain movies over and over. When you do this, you are studying characters. It’s really quite fun because you can become the character if you want to. My favorite characters to watch are women from the 50s and 60s. I especially like Marylyn Monroe because she’s beautiful, clever and funny. Do you have a movie you can watch till the cows come home?
