BULLFIGHTING (Part 1)

Jack tells Alex that watching and participating in sports is one of the major things they both have in common. However, Alex's appreciating what he calls “blood sports” is something Jack just can’t relate to.

Alex replies that disagreeing about that is a never-ending argument and he suggests that they should just concentrate on the things they have in common.

Nevertheless, Jack insists that arguing can be productive and that he’d like to try and understand what attracts Alex, even if he can’t really appreciate it himself.

Alex explains that boxing, fox hunting and bullfighting give him a thrill that normal team sports can’t provide. He states that bullfighting is more an art than a sport.

Finally, Jack can't stand Alex's statement and insists that disagreeing with that idea is out of the question.

JACK:

Watching and participating in sports is one of the major things we have in common, Alex. However, your appreciating what I call “blood sports” is something I just can’t relate to.

ALEX:

Disagreeing about that is a never-ending argument, Jack. Maybe we should just concentrate on the things we have in common.

JACK:

Arguing can be productive. I’d like to try and understand what attracts you, even if I can’t really appreciate it myself.

ALEX:

Boxing, fox hunting and bullfighting give me a thrill that normal team sports can’t provide. Bullfighting is more an art than a sport.

JACK:

An art! Agreeing with that idea is out of the question.
