Language Classes, Friday, Oct. 21

[game-of-you.livejournal.com]

As he did last Friday, Dream has stocked the table at the front of the room with candy, popcorn and sodas and rolled in a large-screen TV.

Hello.

We are watching movies again today. Classics students, here is a filmed production of Oedipus Rex. I was not satisfied with the filmed versions of the play that I could find in this world; here is one pulled from the dreams of Sophocles.

Languages of Asia students, we will continue Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon from last week. You should be able to pick out certain words and phrases in the dialogue, though Mandarin and Cantonese are quite different.

As always, I remind you that I will pay special attention to students who fall asleep during the films.

By the time Connor thinks to offer Murphy his coffee, Murphy is already asleep. Connor shrugs and keeps his attnention on the movie.

Connor gently smakced his brother's shoulder. "Shut it, I'm actually tryin' ta watch."

He moves a little from the impact, but otherwise there's no reaction.

Connor mutters under his breath, something about Ma and a twig, and shifts his attention back to his coffee and the movie.

He mumbles something in Latin, his voice seeming a touch deeper.

It's the last sound he makes for the rest of the class.
