Hi! Can you find tickets for a movie for me tonight?
Sure thing! How many people are going?
A ton of us! We have 12 people.
Wow, awesome. What movie?
Dolittle.
Alright, let me see. I have a 9:00 at the Regal Pioneer Place theater. Would that work?
Yes!
Oh dear, I'm very sorry, but that movie is already sold out! Can I check a different theater for you?
Actually, the Regal Pioneer Place is the only theater close to my house, so that is the only one that will work for me.
Ok, well how about a showing of Jumanji: The Next Level at 9:30 PM at that theater?
Oh no, Allie can't see Jumanji because the first one scared her so much. You know the part where Robin Williams comes back and he doesn't know it's been decades? Scary stuff. So no, sadly we can't see that either.
How about The Turning at 9:15?
Oh no, David would kill me if I brought us to a horror movie. He hates those.
Hm, Bad Boys for Life at 7:30?
Nah, that's too early.
How about Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker at 8?
Oh dear, that is too early as well. Anything else playing?
The only thing I see is Like A Boss, playing at 3:45 PM, which is in about an hour.
Oh no, that won't work. And I don't want to see that anyway. You know what? Maybe we should just skip tonight and go to a movie tomorrow. Thanks anyway.
Okay. I won't book anything. I wish I could have been more helpful!
No worries; it's not your fault I'm trying to coordinate 12 different people's tastes at the last minute. Let's try again tomorrow.
Okay.
