Pearl: Not to hate on books, but movies are where it's AT. No question here.
Marina: But Pearl, movies are so limited. With a book, the only limit is your imagination! And you must realize film adaptations never quite live up to the original.
Pearl: Oh no... Are you one of those "The book was better!" people? I HATE that!
Marina: It's a cliché for a reason, Pearl.
Pearl: Come ooooon. A book's just a bunch of boring words on a page. There's no sound, no cool effects, no nothing! How is this even a contest?!
Marina: Books have their own benefits. You can read them at your own pace, for one. Ever tried to fit in a movie session in the green room between gigs?
Pearl: Uh, no. Why would I? Real entertainment belongs at home, on the comfy couch!
