Sounds like a plan. Do you have any preference for a theatre?

No, I don't know what's in the area. Is there a Regal or an AMC available?

No, at this point it's just ridiculous. We'll just do something else.

I'm sorry there doesn't seem to be many options for you to choose from. Would you like me to search another location for you?

Not right now. Thanks, though.
