Well, it's been a dull afternoon. I think I'll go see a movie with some friends.
assistant
That sounds like it'd be a whole lot of fun! What can I do to help you out?
user
Well, let's see. I'd like to go to the State Theater in Traverse City. Wait, that's probably not a good idea. I don't feel like putting up with all the traffic.

They do get hectic this time of year, and parking can be difficult in downtown.

Exactly. So, we'll see what's playing at the Cadillac 4 tonight.

Are you looking for a specific time?

Yeah, let's try after 9:00 PM. My friend Julie gets off of work then so I'm hoping she can go with me.

Well, I went and seen "1917" already, so we'll cross that one off the list. I didn't really care for it.

Not a problem. Have you seen the other two films yet? They are both playing after 9:00 PM tonight as you requested.

Nope, haven't seen either of those. Wait, doesn't "Bad Boys For Life" have Will Smith in it?

Get rid of that one too. He's a hack artist. Can't act his way out of a wet paper bag.

How much would two tickets be for "Birds Of Prey"? Let me text Julie and see if she can pay her own way in. I can't afford me and her on my meager salary.

That's wonderful, Julie just sent me a text and told me she can't go tonight. What a load of nonsense!
assistant
Would you like me to stop looking then?
user
Might as well! I don't believe this! I give up. I guess I'll just go watch something on Netflix instead.
assistant
Sorry. Hopefully next time will be better.
