It's all Greek to me

There was a marble serving plate on the counter at work yesterday, so I spun it and asked my colleague what she saw. She smiled and looked at me blankly like she always does when I ask her something and she either does not understand, or can't hear me.

"Chocolat" I said, "I guess you haven't seen it".

"I've seen it" she said "It's the French one with words on the bottom".

"No, no subtitles, it's in English".

"Right, the one about how life used to be in Italy".

"Well no, it takes place in France".

"'Like Water for Chocolate'" she frowned, "I didn't like it".

"Yeah..that's a Mexican film".

"Whatever".
