The Road to Perdition

Emi: This was a good movie.

Zell: Hold on, hold on, hold on!

Emi: What?

Zell: How come every movie you see is "a good movie"?

Emi: Because I refuse to pay to see a bad one.

Zell: Oh. I guess that makes sense.

Emi: Yeah, well... Anyway! Tom Hanks stars in this summer blockbuster, but alas, there was no sign of Wilson...

Zell: Wilson?

Emi: The volleyball from Cast Away! *reaches under her lawn chair, revealing Wilson*

Zell: What the... Who the hell cares if a volleyball wasn't in RtP?? It would just mess it up.

Emi: WILSON would never mess anything up! He's a very skilled actor.

Zell: He's made out of a dead cow.

Emi: *hugs Wilson* And yet he's more of a man than you'll ever be.

Zell: You're insane, do you know that? We're supposed to be talking about Road to Perdition, anyway. Not some damn ball.

Emi: *bounces Wilson on the ground* Woo! Lookit him go! :D

Zell: *stares*

Emi: *stands up and slams Wilson on the ground*

(Wilson shoots into the air, disappearing from view)

Emi: .........

Zell: .........

Emi: WILSON! Noooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

(Emi runs away while staring up into the sky, trying to predict where he will land. Screams of "Wilson!" can be heard repeatedly in the distance.)

Zell: *sitting in lawn chair with hands folded* Okay then.

Zell: Ah, The Road to Perdition. Lot's of Oscar buzz about his one...even way before it was released. So that means people flocked to the theaters to see it, even though many probably didn't even know what it was about.

(Emi trudges slowly back to her lawn chair, pouting.)

Emi: .........

Zell: .........

Emi: ...I knew what it was about. All you have to do is read the title and you've got a pretty good idea.

Zell: No Wilson?

Emi: Shut up.

Zell: *shakes head* Well, I liked the cinematography. ...And I can't believe I just said "cinematography".

Emi: Yeah...that was well done. The mood throughout the entire film was dark and...um...moody.

Zell: Unfortunately, the ending came as no surprise.

Emi: It was kind of expected, but that doesn't mean the movie sucked. Quite the opposite!

Zell: Yeah, the opposite, which means it was...not sucky!

Emi: I think we need to expand our vocabulary.

Zell: There ain't nothin' wrong with my frickin' vocabulary!

Emi: ...Okay.

Zell: Well, there isn't!

Emi: I didn't say anything!

Zell: You said, "Okay".

Emi: So what?

Zell: You said it all sarcastic-like.

Emi: Who cares?? Let's just get on with the stupid review!

Zell: ......

Emi: ......

Zell: It was a good movie, you should all go see it.

Emi: Yeah.

(Emi and Zell sit silently)

Zell: Now we're just wasting time.

Emi: I know.

Zell: So I guess we should end.

Emi: Probably.

Zell: Okay.

Emi: .......

Zell: .......

Emi: Are we ending yet?

Zell: Yeah.

Emi: ...Then we should leave.

Zell: Oh... *Zell nods his head* Oh, yeah.
