Tony:  Listen! Quick, turn up the radio! Isn’t that “Can You Feel the Love Tonight?”
Nancy: Yeah, it is, but what’s the big deal?
Tony:  When I was a little boy, my grandmother took me to see the movie The Lion King. That’s the Elton John song from the movie.
Nancy: I still can’t understand why it’s so important to you.
Tony:  Because it was the first movie I ever saw with my grandma and because I really loved spending time with her. It is my favorite song of all times!
