Dialogue on a Rainy New Year's Day

Lorna:  Let's go out to a movie---it's New Years Day; people won't be out at the movies


Dave:  OK, your choice


Lorna:  I'd love to see Black Swan, and we could walk there, and have pizza later


Dave:  It's raining


Lorna:  We'll have to get used to that if we give up the car....


Dave:  That's what I've been telling you...


Lorna:  Holy shit!  Where did all these people come from?


Dave:  What if we can't get in to Black Swan?  Want to try The Tourist?


Lorna:  I checked and the woman at the desk says Black Swan is OK but The King's Speech is getting pretty full


Theatre employee:  THE KING'S SPEECH IS SOLD OUT!  SOLD OUT---THE KING'S SPEECH


Dave:  Shall we get tickets or come back later?

Lorna:  Yay! They say there's lots of seats for the Black Swan----I'll go grab us a place---you get popcorn


Dave:  Damn!  I hate sitting this close---I thought there were lots of seats for this


Lorna:  Ohmigod Dave, this is The King's Speech

Time passes, Dave and Lorna are totally enthralled, emotionally wrung-out and delighted that Lorna can't find her way out of a paper bag.

Lorna and Dave are slightly off-balance from sitting with spines strained and neck muscles cramped, but it was so worth it.
