Now when I say Romeo and Juliet, who comes to mind?
- Dana? - Claire Danes.
That's right. Claire Danes. Who else?
- Leonardo DiCaprio. - Right. Who else?
Well, you know, someone else was involved in that movie...
who, in some ways, is as famous as Leonardo DiCaprio.
And his name's William Shakespeare...
and some great movies are based on his plays.
Hamlet, West Side Story...
Talented Mr. Ripley, Waterworld...
Gladiator, Chocolat.
Mr. Burke, as you know, my boyfriend drowned in a surfing accident.
I don't think I can handle Romeo and Juliet right now emotionally.
Tanya, Lonny died a year ago.
Well. sometimes it takes decades to recover from a tragedy like this.
You only went out with him for two weeks.
