This is not the cinema." "Oh, sorry, it began twenty minutes ago? Goodbye," said the man. Mrs. David was very surprised, so she told her husband. He laughed and said, "The man's wife wanted to go to the cinema, but he was feeling tired, so he telephoned the cinema. His wife hears him, but she couldn't hear you.
