We all need to be alone sometimes. But wanting a little alone time doesn’t necessarily make you a lone wolf.
In The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, a reporter and a hacker search for a missing girl who is definitely a lone wolf…that is, if she’s still alive. This thriller is a remake of the sensational Swedish movie that audiences loved almost as much as the novel both films are based on. Hear Jeff and Jason talk about the new film, and find out which of them is a lone wolf and which one is a social butterfly.
Dialog

2. Study - Read the dialog again to see how the vocab words are used.
Jeff: Have you ever been on the run before, Jason?
Jason: No, but I think about it. I think about what I would do if I was on the run. How I would hide out, you know.
Jeff: I just saw this movie, Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
Jason: Oh yeah. It’s a great movie.
Jeff: You’ve seen it?
Jason: Yeah. It’s really cool. But yeah, the character in that movie, she does not want to be found. She’s sort of had a traumatic life and she just wants to be left alone. Her life’s turned her into a lone wolf. But it’s one of those things where you think, like, how would I do that? How would I hide out? But what’s a harder question to me to answer is how do you find someone like that.
Jeff: Well, I can kind of identify with that. I’m kind of a lone wolf myself, too. I don’t know. It takes one to know one.
Jason: Oh, OK. Well then maybe I’m not really a lone wolf, because I don’t know how I would find one if I had to track one down.
Jeff: You’re a social butterfly. I can tell.

Jason and Jeff both enjoyed the new film, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. This movie is based on a novel written by a Swedish author that was an international bestseller. There was already a movie based on this novel made in Sweden. Jason and Jeff liked the American version of the movie.
Jason says that the film made him wonder how he would find someone who was on the run or hiding out. Jeff thinks he would be good at tracking down someone who didn’t want to be found, because he is a lone wolf himself. He says that Jason seems more like a social butterfly.
Have you ever wanted to hide out and be left alone? Do you feel more like a lone wolf or a social butterfly?
