You'll have to explain what a holoset is; I'm not familiar with the term.

[sufferably]

Like a television. Shows moving pictures, you know. But in hologram form. 3-dimensional.

[Evy's familiar with television, thanks to having sat through movies like O Brother, Where Art Thou and Finding Nemo with other friends, but it still holds a certain magical fascination to her. The quality of the pictures and sound--synced together!--is so far beyond the films being made in 1926 that it doesn't seem like it ought to be possible.]

They have those here?

Perhaps we'd better skip the party; a holoset sounds much more interesting.

[sufferably]

Not exactly. I think the best we could get would be a computer.

But the idea's the same.

[proudofwhatiam]

It sounds fascinating--pity the technology isn't up to snuff here.

Perhaps we can settle for a regular film some night, though.

If it's one I can watch without subtitles, I'll be there.

[proudofwhatiam]

I might have to put you in charge of picking one. Films don't yet have sound where I'm from.

You were probably better off. Just wait until you get to annoying theme music.
