THE SPOTS
In "Role Play" (:30), a young girl uses her male and female dolls to act out a scene where a couple decides where to eat dinner. The male doll says, "I don’t care," and the female retaliates with, "Oh, tonight you don’t care." He’s met with kisses from the female doll when he suggests, "How about Bennigan’s?" In "Couple" (:30), a man and woman begin a seemingly monotonous routine as the woman asks, "So, where are we going to eat?" The man’s internal thoughts are heard—"Whatever I suggest, she’s going to shoot it down." He then emphatically states, "We’re going to Bennigan’s," to which his wife actually nods her approval.
Spots broke in September.
