Didi

Dave:  Didi, have you seen any movies recently?

Didi:  Yes, I did. I saw Wallace & Gromit and the, the…oh, shoot, what was it called? The, “The Case of the Werewolf Bunny.” Is that what it’s called?

Dave:  Something like that. How was it?

Didi:  It was good. It wasn’t as good as his other ones.

Dave:  No? So, what’s it about?

Didi:  Well, it’s about a guy and his dog. The dog doesn’t talk, but is super smart. And the owner is kind of dumber, but he’s an inventor and he invents all this stuff.

Dave:  They have some sort of business, right, in the movie?

Didi:  Oh yes, they are pest controls. There’s a big vegetable, um, contest going on in the, in the community, and, um, the rabbits keep coming and eating their vegetables. Gromit invents these bunny traps.

Dave:  Oh, so he’s really, he’s cashing in on bunny traps.

Didi:  Yes.
