Tonight I was on the box office, it was previews of Shrek the Third, so it was busy.
Along with the usual ditherers who can't decide what film, what time, whether to have premier seats or not and where to sit, we have two who stand out as sucky:
Rocky
Woman: "Two for Rocky."
Me: doing a double take, Rocky Balboa was released in January. "Err... We don't have Rocky on."
Woman: "But it said it was on at 21.15" I don't know what she meant by 'it'.
Me: sudden brain wave, checks times, "It's on on Wednesday morning, our showing for seniors."
Woman: "What else do you have on?"
Me: "Shrek 3...
W: "no."
Me: "Oceans Thirteen..."
W: "no"
Me "Pirates..."
W, to her husband: "But I wanted to see a nice film!"
They walk off.
Parenthood
It's 9.45pm. Most of our films have started. We still have two films to go -Vacancy, a motel killer thriller, and Captivity, a psychological torture/horror. Two parents with two kids, aged maybe 8 and 10, come to the box office and ask, "Is there anything for kids?"
I want to yell at them, "It's quarter to ten, those kids should be in bed!"
