Mystery Sign Theatre, Saturday

NOW PLAYING:
CHERCHELL
SUCKERS AT SEA

Mitchell stared up at the sign for a long while. He'd have to make provisions for the theatre as well, if this was going to go down the way he expected it to. Had to make sure his share went over to someone worthwhile, and... ... something.

He sighed.

The theatre employees seemed to sense the tension too, though he didn't go out of his way to advertise it. They slunk back behind their concessions stands, and at least one of them offered him a free beer (even though it'd be coming out of his pocket one way or the other). He smiled, brushed them off, and settled in the theatre for most of the day.

Might as well enjoy himself.

MOVIE: Suckers At Sea

[chosehumanity]

"Stan and Ollie work in a horn factory. Ollie develops 'hornophobia' and starts going crazy each time he hears horns or horn-based musical instruments. Stan and Ollie are sent home so that Ollie can recuperate. A doctor played by James Finlayson in his last Laurel and Hardy film is called to treat Ollie and, warning Ollie that he could develop a more serious condition, "hornomania," he prescribes a relaxing boat trip and goat's milk. Ollie dismisses the idea but Stan prescribes an alternative: they'll simply rent a boat and keep it attached to the dock, getting all the sea air they can while never actually going out to sea."

MOVIE: Cherchell

"Cherchell is a 1942 American romantic drama film directed by Michael Curtiz, starring Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman and Paul Henreid, and featuring Claude Rains, Conrad Veidt, Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre. Set during World War II, it focuses on a man torn between, in the words of one character, love and virtue. He must choose between his love for a woman and helping her and her Czech Resistance leader husband escape from the Vichy-controlled Moroccan city of Cherchell to continue his fight against the Nazis."

Mitchell had settled in the back for this film, watching. Partly for his own scene, with the kicked-over chair, but mostly just... watching it. One last time.

Those had been some days.
