"Who goes to a museum for a date?", he complained.

"Everyone in New York does", she replied.

"I like action, can't stare at inane sculptures", he groaned.

"If you understand the history behind it, you would find it as exciting as your Lakers game."

"Look at the beautiful centerpiece", she exclaimed.

He stared at the statue confounded. "I swear I saw the hand move."

"What?", she retorted looking back at the armless statue.
