" The CIA is interviewing three potential agents -- two men and a woman. For the final test, they bring one of the male candidates to a door and hand him a gun. &amp;quot;We must know that you will follow instructions, no matter what,&amp;quot; says the interviewer. &amp;quot;Inside this room you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Kill her.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;You can&amp;#039;t be serious,&amp;quot; the man says. &amp;quot;I could never shoot my wife.&amp;quot;  &amp;quot;Then you&amp;#039;re not the right man for the job,&amp;quot; says the interviewer. The second man is given the same instructions. Five minutes later, he emerges with tears in his eyes and says, &amp;quot;I can&amp;#039;t.&amp;quot; Finally, the woman is given the test, but with her husband. She takes the gun and enters the room. Shots are heard, then screaming, crashing, and banging. After a few minutes, she comes out and wipes the sweat from her brow. &amp;quot;You didn&amp;#039;t tell me the gun was loaded with blanks,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;I had to beat him to death with the chair.&amp;quot; About the jokester: There aren&amp;#039;t many opportunities for big laughs in Water, a Hindi-language film about women living in widow ashrams in pre-partition India. So it&amp;#039;s refreshing to hear laughter -- a sexy, throaty cackle at that -- from star Lisa Ray, even as she recalls the arduous research she undertook for her role as a domestic. &amp;quot;I lived in an Indian village with this great matriarch,&amp;quot; says the actress, whose father is Bengali. (Her mother is Polish.) &amp;quot;I was like her own personal servant, sweeping and cooking.&amp;quot; With such a work ethic, it&amp;#039;s only a matter of time before Ray will be naming her own roles. And what exactly does she want to play? &amp;quot;A scuba diver comes to mind -- a twisted sort of scuba diver. Well pierced. Or someone from Minnesota. That would be very challenging for me.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
