Víctor: In my opinion, I prefer Star Trek, but I agree that Star Wars is also a good film.
Marçal: I’m afraid I don’t agree with you. I think Star Wars is better than Star Trek.
Víctor: Ok. It's right that both films are really good. I've just seen "Spectre", the new James Bond film. How do you feel about it?
Marçal: I think it's brilliant!
Víctor: Yes, it's a very exciting movie!
Marçal: And the special effects are so good.
Víctor: You’re absolutely right.
Marçal: I really want to see Johnny English. Would you like to see it with me?
Víctor: Yes, of course. This movie makes me laugh a lot. What about meeting at a 5pm on Sunday in front of the Station?
Marçal: I like the idea. So see you on Sunday.
Víctor: See you soon Marçal.

Everyone have a digital footprint, all what you search are in the “historial”.
