Transcript:
The Professor: Evelyn, would you like to join Boone and I at the movies? Evelyn: Oh, that sounds nice. What are you seeing? Boone: Some Fellini film the Professor suggested. Evelyn: Oh, maybe not. I'm not a fan of subtitles. Boone: Wait, there are subtitles? Professor: I understand, Evelyn. Four hour foreign films are not for everyone. Boone: Beg pardon? Did you just say four hours? Evelyn: Ciao, gentiluomos.

The Professor wouldn’t, nor would most people of their generation.

Because so often people say “John and me”, where “John and I” would be appropriate. But in this case “Boone and me” would be appropriate.
