Mystery Sign Theatre 3000, Wednesday

Another week, another Wednesday dispute at the movie theater. The box office dude wanted them to show Stab 4 today, but Kate told him they could save the horror stuff for when the new kids arrived. It was likely they wouldn't be quite as traumatized by island happenings as the current batch and would, you know, actually want to watch a slasher film.

He knew when to give up by now, so Kate got her way. She felt her pick was kind of perfect for the week with graduation looming just a few days away. It was a fricking high school movie classic, too.

She's actually kind of looking forward to new students showing up than she is to her graduation.

Since Bod had come by last week, he thought making it two weeks in a row would start an almost routine. So, there he was, ambling up to Kate and smiling as he did.

And Kate smiled back at him, once his arrival caught her attention from where she was putting some random new kind of candy on display. "Hey, boyfriend."

"Hullo, girlfriend," he said, coming to lean against the counter. "How is work today?"

"Usual," she shrugged though her smile didn't dim. "Won another argument over what to show."

"Who do you have arguments with about the movie selection?" Bod wondered. "Mr. Mitchell?"

"No, the dude who sells the tickets," Kate replied with a laugh. "I don't think Mr. Mitchell much cares what I go for."

"Why can't the two of you alternate?" Bod wondered, glancing over at the ticket taker. "One week you choose, the next he does. Wouldn't that make it easier?"

"Because I get to choose and he doesn't," Kate quipped. "And anyway, his suggestions suck, and I'm total bee eff effs with the manager."

"And what if I asked to choose for next week?" Bod asked, curious as to what she'd say. "Would you let me?"

"Yeah," Kate replied with a slight shrug of one of her shoulders. "I mean, as long as it wouldn't be something completely horrible or lame. We have a reputation to uphold."

"Isn't that a rather subjective thought?" wondered Bod. "What I think is horrible or lame isn't what you might think is horrible or lame. Is this mostly just you saying you have final say in things?"

"Uh huh," Kate nodded, completely unashamed of that fact. "Got it in one."

"What if I chose a foreign film?" Bod asked curiously. "Perhaps one with subtitles and all?"

"Hey, one week I showed a foreign film without subtitles," Kate pointed out. "Even if that was because everyone else ganged up on me and claimed it would draw in a curious crowd. It didn't, by the way."

"What sort of movies wouldn't you show?" Bod asked. "You're an open minded person so I can't see too many not being approved by you."

"Well, I don't exactly have any rules as such," Kate mused. "It's a case-by-case basis thing. Like, it's not even movies I personally don't like, 'cause I don't like a lot of the stuff Moosh watches but I'd still play them here since they're classics or whatever. So... I guess I don't even know."

"I almost want to make it my goal to find something you won't show," Bod replied, amused. "I don't know if I could but now, I want to try!"

"Then try away," Kate replied with a wryly amused little smile. "It's not like anyone even comes here, anyway, so I might stretch my standards to accommodate whatever atrocity you could think to bring in."

"I come in here," Bod said, shrugging. "Am I not enough?"

"Barely anyone comes in here to watch the films," Kate clarified, shaking her head. "Boyfriend visits are better than those but they still don't count."
