Summary: Slow dialogue: 1:40 Explanations: 3:46 Fast dialogue: 15:07 Hamid: I just finished a really good book. I thought the characters were headed toward a tragic ending, but there was a twist near the end, and everything turned out well. It was so satisfying! Rachel: It sounds sappy to me. Hamid: It wasn’t sappy at all. It was just a happy ending. I know what you like. You like those disaster movies with catastrophic endings where everyone dies. Rachel: At least that would be more realistic than everyone living happily ever after. I just saw the series finale of my favorite TV show. You know what they did? They ended the series with a cliffhanger. Nothing was resolved. Hamid: That’s horrible! How could they leave people hanging like that? Weren’t you just a little mad? Rachel: No, I wasn’t. The ending stayed true to the spirit of the show. It was a dark show and the ending was equally dark. Hamid: Well, I bet they ended the series that way so they could make a movie sequel. Rachel: Yeah, maybe, but I don’t care either way. Life doesn’t end neatly and neither should a good story. Hamid: Remind me never to read any stories you write or any movies you make!
