"Come along, darlings. It's movie night and it's my treat."

"I never turn down a beautiful woman offering movie tickets."

"He never turns down a beautiful woman offering anything."

"Oh hush, Mark. So, are you two game as well?"

"Sure, luv. What movie are we seeing?"

"It's based on a Truman Capote book called 'In Cold Blood'."

"Not a comedy then, I take it?"

"Hardly, Illya. But not to worry - I will provide some snacks as well."

"Licorice, April?"

"Not just any licorice, Napoleon. Crows. Which fulfills my lyric."

"While I suppose that crows do call, when I think of calling birds, I think of canaries for some reason."

"You have the lyrics wrong, my friend."

"It's not four calling birds, Illya?"

"Not in the original lyrics. It was four 'colly' birds."

"Colly?"

"An old slang term for sooty. So a colly bird is a blackbird. A crow most certainly qualifies there."

"Well, I've learned two things today."

"What's the other one, Napoleon?"

"Don't let April pick the movie. They may have just released this yesterday, but it's not my idea of a holiday movie."

"It was this, 'Valley of the Dolls' or 'Guess Who's Coming to Dinner'."

"According to Coming Attractions, 'Son of Godzilla' starts soon."

"None of them are what I'd call a festive movie."

"Oh hush and eat your licorice, Napoleon."

"Does this also count as making someone eat crow?"

"You aren't helping, Illya."

Hahahaha hahahaa! Good chapter and love the movie references, esp. 'Son of Godzilla'...don't think I ever saw that one.

You didn't miss much. Godzilla's kid looks like badly formed Playdoh to me.

Now that you said that, I suddenly had this image of a little toothless squeaky toy thing pop into my head. LOL!
