At your local cinemas, you can choose from Knives Out, Richard Jewell, Cats, Uncut Gems, Ford v Ferrari, and Black Christmas. Do any of these sound good?

Crap. I don’t think any of these showings will work for our schedules.
assistant
I’m sorry. Would you like for me to look at times in other cinemas?
user
No. That’s OK. We will be downtown and those are the only cinemas close to where we will be.

OK. Is there anything else I can do for you?

Maybe we will try again in a few days. I really want to see both of those movies but the times are just not doable tonight.
