Gamma: "Gah. This movie is so long!"

Actually, I think a bad movie would be too long even if I were going to be executed afterward. It's not as though I could pay attention, and as for "learning something"... Just shoot me!

was she watching "Nausicaaaaa of the Valley of the Wind?" Roo said, halfway through, "This movie is so LONG!", but not being as clever as you, i didn't have any sort of justification to offer her other than, "it'll be over soon," and then, "you know, you don't have to watch it if you don't want to."
