An older woman then injects herself into the situation, claiming that he is profiling people with large families, as they supposedly tend to attempt to sneak food into theaters. Three smaller kids then loudly race past, two small boys dressed as campy professional wrestlers, plus a  even smaller girl, carrying a cutout of Vin Diesel, being chased by their harried father. The woman claims she has no idea who that group was. The Usher then notes that the woman appears to have something bulky under her jacket. The woman claims that is her natural form, as having seven kids. had a toll on her body. A sound of ripping paper is audible as several plastic baggies of popcorn and assorted candies fall to the floor, from the torn bag conspicuously sticking out from under her vest. Tucking the paper back into place, the clearly caught culprit opines who placed the sack of snacks under her coat. The teen girl claims she has no idea who the snack smuggler is, and the Usher lets her pass with a mute nod.

## Movie Theater Woman

### **Portrayed by**

Linda Wang

The **Movie Theater Woman** was a resident of Marshport, Massachusetts, that decided to watch a movie at the Marshport 6 Cinemas. Deciding on the latest horror film, she bought her ticket and bought a beverage from the concession counter. She entered the assigned theater early, and selecting an aisle seat, took off her coat and draped it over the empty spot next to her. Placing her drink in the cup holder, she sat down, and settled her purse in her lap, and awaited the show to start. As she sat, the antics of the apparent familial group that claimed the front row, played out before her. She became indirectly involved when their mother was making her way down the stairs loaded with drinks and snacks in her arms. Suddenly, two young screaming boys sprung up unexpectedly, from nearby seats. That surprised their mother so much that she dropped everything she was carrying sending a shower of popcorn everywhere--some of which landed on the woman's head. As the woman brushed the loose kernels off of her hair and clothing, the mother instructed her kids to salvage as much fallen popcorn as they could, and made her out of the theater, without offering any kind of apology for what had just happened. The mother eventually returned with more snacks, along with the rest of her family group, the last of which, was a teen girl moving backwards down the steps, who predictably, fell down after passing the woman's aisle. However, after the film began, it became evident that the subject matter was too mature for the younger members of the group, causing the disruptive family to depart, allowing the rest of the theater patrons to enjoy the film.
