The thing about learning a foreign language is that you get exposed to alot of really bad dialog. I mean, this stuff can make porno look like Shakespeare sometimes. Take this great little skit for example, if you pay attention you will notice it really doesnt make any sense :
Mary: Hello, Julia!
Julia: Hello, Mary! You seem very pleased.
Mary: Yes, I'm very happy. Tonight I'm going out with Marcos.
Julia: That's great!
Mary: I thought he liked Anna.
Julia: But Anna has a boyfriend, doesn't she?
Mary: Yes, Marcos and Anna are just friends.
Julia: The thing is, you're very jealous…
Well the characters are wooden a the plot falls apart around the 3rd act. If Julia is already going out with Marcos then obviously she has either already figured Anna was not with him OR she's a trifling bitch that is trying to steal Marcos, in which case she probably would avoid talking about it.
I think I found my new nitch market to pander to- foreign language dialog. That's how I will make my fortune. Well, that and being a script writter for dumb children's school plays... think about it, someone has to actually sit down and write those things.
