KEVIN: I just saw “ Something About Mary” last night. It was hilarious.
LILY: David took me to it last week. I thought it was a little sick.
KEVIN: What do you mean by “sick”? It was really funny, don't you think?
LILY: It was entertaining in some ways. But in general I didn't like it.
KEVIN: Why not?
LILY: I just think the humor was too gross. There were too many disgusting things in it. I don't think a comedy has to have so much smut to be funny.
KEVIN: It wasn't a dirty movie. There wasn't even any nudity.
LILY: No, you're right. But nudity doesn't bother me. What bothered me were all the jokes about masturbation, stuff like that. It was too sick.
KEVIN: Oh, you are too conservative. It's just realistic.
LILY: I don't think it's realistic. I thought it was sick. Why does a movie have to use that kind of humor?
KEVIN: People think it's funny.
LILY: But it was the most disgusting comedy I've ever seen. And it was a big budget movie too. It wasn't just a low-budget film you can see on cable TV.
KEVIN: I told you, you are conservative.
LILY: I'm not really conservative. But some new movies are just vulgar. If they become popular, it proves that people are vulgar.
KEVIN: I'm really surprised at this. I didn't think you were like this.
LILY: I'm not what you think, Kevin. Did you see the movie “Everyone's Nightlife”?
KEVIN: Yes. I think it's good.
LILY: That was a movie about sex too.
KEVIN: I agree. But what do you think of that one?
LILY: I thought it was excellent.
KEVIN: Yes, I suppose.
LILY: So maybe you can see now that I'm not conservative. But I have a sense of value. “Something About Mary” depends on gross humor. But “Everyone's Nightlife” depends on drama. They are both about sex, but they are different.
