I just got a call from my friend Bob, he's wanting to stop in and visit!
assistant
Hey, that's great! Bob is full of laughs. Do you two have any plans?
user
Yeah, Bob wants to go see a movie here at the Cadillac 4, he hasn't been to the theater in some time, so I figure that would be enjoyable.

Bob's new job keeping him busy?

Yeah, he doesn't get a whole lot of time off. I'm honored he wants to come and spend some time with me. What are a few of the films playing at the Cadillac 4 today?

Not too bad. It's 1:30 PM right now. Bob said he'd be here around 2:30.
assistant
That would give you ample time no matter what one that you choose.
user
Yes, the Cadillac 4 is less than a mile away from my home.

Do you know which film you are leaning towards?
user
Well, "Bad Boys For Life" is something I've already seen, actually, so that wouldn't be much fun to pay to see it again. It's also playing a bit earlier so that's not a lot of wiggle room in case he's late.

That's true.
user
I think I'll go with "Birds Of Prey", it seems like it'd be a lot of fun to watch with someone like Bob. Order 2 tickets for that at 4:35 PM today on their standard screen. That gives us time to grab a bite to eat beforehand.

Well, let's hold off for now. Bob backed out on me, I just got the text. He's been held up at work. We'll just do it tomorrow or something.
assistant
I will postpone the purchase until you're ready, then.
user
Sorry about that!
assistant
Well, here's hoping better luck next time.
