"It was very interesting." Nora replied. "There was an archaeologist who met socialites in a pyramid in Egypt. They invited the archaeologist to come with them to New York. They went to a night club and he met a singer. They fell in love and eventually got married.

"You know that I can't sit and watch an entire film. Nora, you know that it's junk. The plot isn't realistic. Who meets a socialite at a pyramid? This type of a scenario is just a fantasy. You absorb all these films like a sponge."

Leo got up and walked over to Nora. "What are you mumbling about?" He asked.
"It's nothing." Nora said. "I have to go to diner. My shift starts in fifteen minutes. I can't be late."
Leo leaned down and kissed her on the cheek. "Okay. Have a good day."
