Oh crap. I don't think we're going to want to go that early. Maybe check out late showings at all of the same theaters for Jumanji instead.

Yes, please. We better hurry before they're sold out too. This has been ridiculous.
assistant
How would you like to pay for the tickets today? Shall I use the credit card you have on file?
user
Yes, please, if it's the Amex card. How much is a ticket anyways? I haven't bought a movie ticket myself in so long I have no idea what they cost.
assistant
Tickets cost $9 each for the showtime you have selected, but prices do vary in theaters.

Wow!! That is way way cheaper than I thought they would be. I figured they would be like $20 each. That's great! Yes, please book the seats right now.

Where would you like to be seated in the theater? You have a number of options available for seating at this show. Do you have a preference?
user
Get seats closer to the rear of the theater in the center. Preferably where we would not have to walk in front of anyone or be walked in front of by anyone, except for each other, of course.
