At the Movies

M: Ticket prices have certainly gone up! W: Yes, but I really needed a break, so if the price is a bit higher, it doesn’t matter. Besides, I really want to see this movie on the big screen. M: Would you like something to snack on while we watch the movie? W: Sure. What do they have? M: It looks like the standard popcorn and soda. But there’s also ice cream, hot dogs, and coffee. W: I have a craving for chocolate, but I should attempt to eat something healthy. I want to avoid getting sick this year. I am trying to change my diet. M: I’m afraid the healthiest item may be the coffee. W: Do they have any muffins? M: No, but they do have brownies. W: I haven’t had a brownie in a long time. Please get me a brownie and a coffee. What are you getting? M: I’m getting the large popcorn and a cola. W: Here is some money. M: It’s on me. W: No, please. The tickets were extremely expensive. I know you are on a restricted budget. M: I insist. Did you want cream and sugar in your coffee? W: Well, thank you very much. No cream in the coffee, please. M: So, you probably don’t want sugar, either? W: No, I think there is enough sugar in the brownies. I’ll find us some seats near the aisle.
