Wow, they all sound good, but I don't think Sara gets off work until around 3, so "Bad Boys For Life" and "1917" would be kind of hard to get there in time to see.

Would "Dolittle" be the film you would want to get tickets for then?

Yeah, I think so. We'll go with "Dolittle".

Will anybody else be coming with you and Sara to the movie?
user
I hope not. Let me text her to find out if her friend Barb is coming along. I hope not, she's an uncomfortable third wheel.
assistant
Sounds good.
user
Ok, Sara just wrote me back. No Barb! Yay, I am a happy man. So just two tickets it's looking like.

Yes, please. Hold on, I'm getting a text from Sara. That's great. I just got a message from Sara, she can't make it. So, we'll just put off the movie for another day.
assistant
I'll go ahead and hold off on the movie ordering then.
user
Thanks anyhow, I guess we'll do it next time.
assistant
No problem, when you're ready to order later, just let me know!
