TMD: Great, well this is pretty bor- ing, so let's talk about somethingelse. Have you ever choked on a pretzel before? R: No. TMD: Have you ever choked on any- thing before? 1 , R: Yeah, I choked on a cherry once. TMD: On that little thing in the mid- dle? R: Yeah the pit. TMD: That is the pits. So what was the last movie you saw? R: "Lord of the Rings." TMD: What did you think of that? R: It was pretty cool. TMD: Have you ever seen the movie "Commando?" R: No. TMD: No? No!
