Okay. Oh. I'm sorry, that show is sold out. Is the 8:30 too late?

Yes. I'm afraid so.

Would you like me to look at another theater in another city?
user
No. That would just make it a longer night for mom.
assistant
How about Sunday?

No, that won't work because she spends a lot of time at church on Sundays.

Well, would you like me to check the matinee times for Saturday.

Oh, yes. That's a great idea. Maybe a late afternoon movie would actually be better than an early evening showing.
