“I hope I am not interrupting,” I said to the woman, “but I just had to tell you that I loved you in that one with the boy and the cat. It made me cry for three days. I stayed up late watching if with my housemate’s cat. He used to be the president.” They nodded and smiled amicably

“You… thank… very much,” the woman responded in broken English. “It is great.”

“Where are you from?” I asked.

“Czechoslovakia.” I gave her a hug and shook the man’s hand.

“Welcome to America.”
