Yours too, NO WAY!

Last night a friend and I grabbed dinner and drinks before attending a concert at the Garden. At the restaurant we were seated next to a couple, which in some establishments in NYC basically means we were sharing a table with them. They were so painfully awkward to listen to, so painful in fact that my friend actually thought they were on a first date it; it was just that bad. However, being the committed onlooker that I am, I noticed that they were married (both wearing rings.) They were tourists, no doubt, in midtown to see a show, telling not only by what they were wearing but how they talked about the city, the food at this sub-par Italian restaurant and life in general:

Man: So what's your favorite part about musicals?
Woman [pausing]: Um...probably the music. And the sound.
Man [nodding]: Yeah the sound is good.
