Alfie We went to see that new film last

Emma The one with Mark Wahlberg? I
don't like him. I don't want to see it.
Alfie Really? Just because you don't like
one of the actors?
Emma Yes, really. I've seen lots of films
with him in and I didn't like any of them.
Alfie Yes, OK, but a film's more than just
one actor, isn't it? Maybe you didn't like
those films for other reasons.
Emma Well, maybe - I mean, you could be
right. But I'm still not going to see it.
Alfie Well, perhaps you should be a little
more open-minded. I tell you what - I'd
like to see it again, so why don't you come
