The context of the following conversation is While watching the scary movie in the theater, Kai sat clinging tightly to the chair.:
Kai says It was the scariest movie I had ever seen!.
The friend responds It is pretty spooky! But I find movies about masked serial chainsaw murderers scarier!.
Kai responds I was so tense, I was about to rip the arms off of the chair!.
The friend responds I'm surprised you made it through the whole way!.
Kai responds I didn't know if I could take much more, at one point..
The friend responds Next time maybe watch a rom-com or something..
