CORINNE: I just saw "Something About Mary" last night. It was hilarious.
DOLLY: Darren took me to it last week. I thought it was a little sick.
CORINNE: What do you mean "sick"? It was really funny, don't you think?
DOLLY: It was entertaining in some ways. But in general I didn't like it.
CORINNE: Why not?
DOLLY: I just think the humor was too gross. There were too many disgusting things in it.
I don't think a comedy has to have so much smut to be funny.
CORINNE: It wasn't a dirty movie. There wasn't even any nudity.
DOLLY: No, you're right. But nudity doesn't bother me.
What bothered me were all the jokes about masturbation, stuff like that. It was too sick.
CORINNE: Oh, you are too conservative. That's all just realistic.
DOLLY: I don't think it's realistic.
You mean that scene where Mary puts the "hair gel" in her hair? You think that's realistic.
I thought it was sick. Why does a movie have to use that kind of humor?
CORINNE: People think it's funny.
DOLLY: But it was the most disgusting comedy I've ever seen.
And it was a big budget movie too. It wasn't just a low-budget film you can see on cable TV.
I think America's values are screwed up if movies like that are popular.
CORINNE: See? I told you, you are conservative.
DOLLY: I'm not really conservative.
But at least I have a sense of propriety. Some new movies are just vulgar.
If they become popular, it proves that people are becoming more vulgar.
CORINNE: I'm really surprised at this. I didn't think you were like this.
DOLLY: I'm not what you think, Corinne. I'm not prudish at all.
Did you see the movie "Pleasantville"?
CORINNE: Yes. I thought it was good.
DOLLY: That was a movie about sex too.
It was about breaking away from hypocritical sexual values.
CORINNE: I agree. But what did you think of that one?
DOLLY: I thought it was excellent. Very imaginative and well-written. But it wasn't gross.
It wasn't disgusting like "Something About Mary". Do you see how they are different?
CORINNE: Yes, I suppose.
DOLLY: So maybe you can see now that I'm not conservative.
But I have a sense of value. "Something About Mary" depends on gross humor.
But "Pleasantville" depends on drama. They are both about sex, but they are different.
I think there should be more movies like "Pleasantville".
CORINNE: Hmm. I will have to think about it.
哥琳娜：我昨晚看了《哈拉瑪莉》，實在太好笑了。
朵莉：戴倫上星期帶我去看過了，我覺得有點惡心。
哥琳娜：惡心，怎么說呢？很好笑啊，你不覺得嗎？
朵莉：某方面來說是達到娛樂效果，但是大致上我不喜歡。
哥琳娜：為什么呢？
朵莉：我覺得它的幽默太低級了，里面有太多惡心的鏡頭。
我不認為喜劇就必須這么淫穢，才算好笑。
哥琳娜：它不是色情片，它甚至沒有裸露的鏡頭。
朵莉：你是對的，確沒有。但我并不討厭裸露。
是那些手淫的笑料讓我作嘔，太病態了。
哥琳娜：你太保守了，那都是真實的一面。
朵莉：我不認為那是真實的。
你是說瑪莉把精液當發膠抹的那一幕嗎？你覺得那是真實的嗎？
我覺得惡心，一部電影何必搞這種笑料呢？
哥琳娜：人們覺得有趣啊。
朵莉：但這是我看過最惡心的喜劇。
而且它還是耗資不少的電影，不是有線電視上播映的小成本影片。
如果這種電影普遍受歡迎，美國的價值觀將被搞得一團糟。
哥琳娜：看吧？我就說你食古不化。
朵莉：我才不是食古不化呢！
至少我懂得妥不妥當，最近有些電影很粗俗。
如果它們賣座的話，表示人們也變得低級了。
哥琳娜：我真的很驚訝，我以前不覺得你是這樣的人。
朵莉：
