Nedra

Tanis

Nedra:  Tanis, if you had a chance to be a character in a movie, who would you be?

Tanis:  Uh, I don’t know… that’s a hard question Nedra, um, no one comes to mind right now. Who, who would you be?

Nedra:  It’s a toss up. I think I’d like to be, uh, Ferris Bueller or Winona Ryder in Beetlejuice. They had fun characters.

Tanis:  Oh yeah, those, those, are pretty kooky characters, real different those two, that’s funny. Um, gosh for me I guess I would say, I just saw Amelie, and I loved that. Have you seen that?

Nedra:  No, but I’ve heard it’s great.

Tanis:  Yeah, I would like to be like her ’cause she’s sort of, uh, a do gooder but she’s a lot more quiet than I am, so, I don’t know, uh, maybe just like more of a flamboyant character. I love The Little Mermaid.

Nedra:  Yeah, I can see you singing a lot around the office.
