Hana: Okay, so let's talk about movies.Ben: Okay.Hana: What kind of movie do you like?Ben: Well, my favorite genres are actually, let's see, science fiction, sci-fi, and horror.Hana: Horror?Ben: Yeah.Hana: What was the last movie you watched? Do you remember?Ben: The last movie I watched was a science fiction. It was called The Shape of Water.Hana: Okay. Never heard, never seen, yeah.Ben: Well, I can you a little about it, if want to hear.Hana: Yeah, yes. Please do.Ben: Okay, so it's actually a love story about a janitor and a merman.Hana: Okay. Yeah.Ben: A merman, like, you know ...Hana: Mermaid. Mermaid, yeah.Ben: Mermaid, yeah, merman. It's actually ... I don't want to give away too much of the story, but this janitor is working at this underground government facility. She cleans the floors next to this giant fish tank. She never knows actually what's inside, but one day, this merman comes up to the glass and she sees him. She instantly falls in love. The beautiful part is, is that he can't speak. He can't speak English, right? But the beautiful part is she's actually deaf. She can't hear, so this beautiful, amazing relationship kind of blossoms from them. She teaches him sign language. Oh, it's unbelievable. I recommend it.Hana: It's like a modern version of Romeo and Juliet, yeah? Kind of.Ben: Maybe. I mean, that's not like they weren't ... They weren't star-crossed lovers, per se, but, no, it was definitely an interesting love story. Yeah, that's the last movie I saw, recently.Hana: What about horror movies?Ben: I actually like this movie called It. It's based on a book written by this horror author, Stephen King. Maybe you've heard of Stephen King.Hana: Oh, yes, yes, yes. He's a famous writer, yeah?Hana: Mm-hmmBen: Yeah, this is actually a story about a .... It's kind of a sci-fi horror mix, so it's like, of course, it's one of my favorites. It's about this alien that comes to this town and takes a form as a clown, an evil clown, every 65 years. He wakes up from his deep sleep and he's hungry because he needs to eat. He takes his form as a clown and terrorizes this town every 65 years. The movie takes place in the 19, let's see, I think it's the 1970's. That's the time when the monster wakes up. This group of kids starts figuring it out, "What's happening in our town?" It's kind of a coming of age tale in a horror movie. I don't know, it's really interesting. I hope I didn't ruin it. I'm not going to tell you the ending, of course.Hana: Okay. I'm not a big fan of horror movies. It makes me kind of ... Not to go to toilets or not to go to the bathroom.Ben: Alright.
