It’s A Small (100% English Speaking) World
Video Rental | Charleston, SC, USA
Customer: “This movie is in German. I want a different one.”
(It was “The Lives of Others,” which won Best Foreign Film at the Oscars–which was stated on the box in big letters.)
Me: “I can’t give you another movie, because it was subtitled. Plus, it says it on the box in two places.”
Customer: “But I don’t speak German.”
Me: “Neither do I.”
Customer: “Why do they make movies in German in America?”
Me: “Because it was made by German people.”
