My friend Jim and I decided to see the latest blockbuster this weekend. I like a good action movie once in a while. We decided to meet at the movie theater after work .
When I got the theater, I looked around and didn't see Jim. So, I thought I would get in line to buy tickets . There were two different lines so I asked a woman standing in the first one, "Is this the line for Mission Impossible 4?" and she said, "Yes, I'm afraid it is." I turned around and saw why she said that. It was really long and had about 20 people in it already. Oh, well. I went to the back of the line and waited.
About 10 minutes later, I saw Jim coming up the escalator. He looked out of breath . He said, "Hey, sorry for being so late. I hit a lot of traffic on the way over ." I told him, "Don't worry about it. As you can see, we have a long wait.‚"
We finally got up to the head of the line . The clerk behind the ticket window said, "Can I help you?" and I said, "Two tickets for MI-4, please." We weren't children, students, or seniors, so there were no special discounts for us. The clerk handed me two tickets and we headedinside. There was a ticket taker just inside the door and he took our tickets, handing back to us our stubs .
Coming straight from work , I was really hungry. Jim and I went to the concession standand got a couple of Cokes, a tub of popcorn , a hotdog, and a box of candy. We were set. We went into the screening room and it was packed . Lucky for us, we found some seats together that weren't too close to the screen .
We sat back and waited for the movie to start. While we watched 10 minutes of previews wewolfed down our food. By the time the movie started, I was feeling pretty good. I don't know which was better: The movie or the great junk food !
