Paul & Michele discussing a programme on TV

Michele : There’s a really interesting documentary on TV tonight.
Paul : What’s it about ?
Michele : It’s about a man who walked between two towers on a high wire.
Paul : What ? I thought you were going to say it was about animals in the wild.
Michele : I know it’s crazy isn’t it !
Paul : Why would he want to do a thing like that ?
Michele : A challenge, I suppose. It says here « The French daredevil Philippe Petit became famous in 1974 for crossing on a high-wire between the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City ».
Paul : Sounds fascinating. I’d be interested to watch just to find out why you would want to do such a thing !
Michele : They called it the “artistic crime of the century” ! But he has another challenge left : he wants to do the same, he wants to cross the Grand Canyon.
Paul : My challenge is far less ambitious than his.
Michele : What is it ?
Paul : I just want to beat Jim in tennis !
