Conversation between my fiancee & me, returning from the Hollywood Bowl:
Adelphia: Did you enjoy that?
Michael: Sure.
A: What's wrong?
M: Nothing.
A: Oh, you never like going to the Bowl. It wasn't crowded this time.
M: I know. I liked it, really.
A: Was it the music?
M: Well, you said it would be Mozart.
A: Yeah, but I'm sorry it didn't have Tom Hulce doing his Amadeus giggle.
M: C'mon, I'm not some kind of philistine.
A: No, but you like Chopin because it's used in that episode of "Tom & Jerry" where the cat figures out a way to fly. You only know Georges Bizet's Carmen from the soundtrack to the Bad News Bears. What am I supposed to think?
M: I happen to know that Mozart composed The Marriage of Figaro. Isn't that right?
A: Yeah.
M: And wasn't Figaro the Barber of Seville?
A: I guess.
M: Well, I enjoyed the mezzo-soprano singer they had tonight, but she did everything in Italian but they never got to the big number.
A: What are you talking about?
M: Where was that song with the kid with the cowlick and the razor and strop?
A: You mean from "The Little Rascals"?
M: "I'm the Barber of Sevillllle! Figaro! Figaro! Figaro!"
A: Otay, Alfalfa.
Adelphia: Did you enjoy that?
Michael: Sure.
A: What's wrong?
M: Nothing.
