Brian:Hahaha….We played darts! Your sister´s boyfriend is very nice!
Linda:I preferred my sister´s last boyfriend. He was also an actor.
Brian:The actors´ achievements were really great, but the leading actor’s accent was terrible! Hahaha…
Linda:You are right. I particularly liked the end of the film, but the seats at the cinema were, however, somewhat uncomfortable.
