This Date Will End In Tragedy

(I am texting my boyfriend.)

Me: “Hey, do you want to go see the new movie adaptation of Romeo and Juliet? I feel like I’m obligated to go, being an English major and all.”

Boyfriend: “Oh! When did that come out?”

Me: “I don’t know, maybe a week ago?”

Boyfriend: “Well, is it a modern remake with a gritty twist? Is one of them a prostitute?”

Me: “Er… no, I’m pretty sure it’s a straight adaptation.”

Boyfriend: “Oh, never mind, then. I know how it ends.”
