history: I went to the movie theater by myself. I was the only one in the whole theater for the film.  I decided to go to the movies on my own. I saw the latest art film and had the theater all to myself. Why did you go to the movies by yourself? I didn't have anyone to go with during the afternoon_comma_ and I really wanted to check the film out.
current: That is great being so independent.
next: Yeah, it's similar to eating at a restaurant by yourself. It can feel a bit sad though.
