This sounds good. Do you have a preference for screening type?
user
No. Just a regular old screening will do.

OK. So to review, you would like to see Uncut Gems at Pullman Square. You want the regular screening at 9:00 PM. Is this correct?

You got it! Do you need to know anything else?

Will it just be you and your wife?

user
Yeah. Our friends were going to hang out with us but their baby got sick.
assistant
That’s too bad, but I’m sure you will enjoy the movie anyway!
user
What’s next? Should I go ahead and purchase tickets?
assistant
You certainly can. In fact, I can purchase them for you!
user
That’s awesome! But now that I think about it, I may want to talk this over with my wife. Is it possible for you to remember all this information and purchase the tickets later?
assistant
I can definitely save this information.
user
OK. Then I guess the plan is to ask my wife about the movie. If she wants to see that one, I will come back to you in order to get the tickets.
assistant
That sounds like a plan. Is there anything else I can do for you in the meantime?
user
Nope! I will just let you know what to do in just a little bit.
assistant
Alright! I will talk with you soon!
