How do you compromise between—

Well, other than by... We can play one of your records, and then one of mine. How's that sound?

[iunderstand]

Yes.

[That's exactly what she'd meant. And it's not that she doesn't like the rock and roll records. She just also likes the disco ones.

She smiles faintly at him.]

[ Meanwhile, the first disco record she'd put on has played nearly a full song while they've been discussing.

He returns her smile and shakes his head. ]

I feel like this stuff got popular when I wasn't looking.

[iunderstand]

[She sits on the floor in front of the record player, hands in her lap as she listens. She loves TV, but she's also really starting to love listening to records and music. It was something she hadn't been exposed to at all the first almost twelve years of her life.]

Why don't you like it?

[hoponpop]

[ Hopper goes to sit on the couch, fingering at the newspaper and considering picking it up, even though he's read the whole thing already. ]

Oh, I don't know. It's just not what I like. Can you explain why you like it?

[iunderstand]

[She frowns a little, not really understanding why he doesn't like the music. She thinks Donna Summer is cool.

She considers his question.]

Fun. [She shrugs, reaching for one of his rock and roll records.]
