Would you spend $50 on a ticket to see the finalists from "American Idol" perform live?
"Yeah, I would. It's a once in a lifetime chance, so I'd go to see it and experience it."	"No. It's too expensive for me! (I'd spend) maybe half, like $25."	"Yeah. We watch ('American Idol') every time it's on."
Brad Pitt -- Is he believeable as an action star?
"It's possible. He has potential. I'm checking out the previews (for 'Troy') first, to see if I want to go see it."	"I think he does pretty good in the action movies. 'Fight Club,' I thought he was pretty good."	"I would probably see him more in a drama than in an action (movie)."
Did you do well on your finals this semester?
"I think I did. I studied, (so) I feel confident and relieved."	" I think so. I guess I'm passing in most of my classes."	"I think I did good -- hopefully!"
