[Music] Michelle Obama: It was a cool date, actually.  We spent the whole day together.  He was showing me all facets of his character so we went to the Art Institute.

Barack Obama: Art, art, guys out there it impresses people.

Michelle: He showed his cultural side, and then we took a nice long walk—

Barack: Kind of romantic.

Michelle: —on Michigan Avenue.  And did we go to the movie first?

Barack: Well yeah we didn't have dinner, we actually had lunch—

Michelle: Oh we had lunch at the Art Institute.

Barack: —at the Art Institute.  There's a little courtyard with a little fountain.

Michelle: Yeah, yeah, it was nice.

Barack: Yeah it was very nice.  And then we walked.

Michelle: And then we walked.  So our first meal was a lovely lunch.  It was very nice.

Barack: And then we went to see "Do the Right Thing."

Michelle: Spike Lee.  It had just come out.

Barack: It had just come out.

Michelle: Showed all the sides.  He was hip, cutting edge, cultural, sensitive.  The fountain, nice touch.   The walk.  Patient.

Barack: Take tips, gentlemen.

Notes: Cute.
