Conversation overheard at the airport

Scene: sitting at Gate B25 waiting for my flight to New York to board. On my left a crowd is waiting to board a flight to Italy. Above me is a giant plasma TV showing the match between Japan and Australia in the World Cup. A woman sits beside me, probably in her fifties. A man stands next to her, probably in his twenties. His name is Ken.

Ken: "Do you think Zico speaks Japanese?"

Woman: "what?"

Ken: "Do you think Zico speaks Japanese?"

Woman: ... pause..... "who's Ezekiel?"

Notes:
who is Zico
who is Ezekiel

I can only comment on this particular Ezekiel since I have never heard of anyone else called Ezekiel. Maybe I need to travel more.
