Paragraph Eight 1. The parking lot is shared with several restaurants and a supermarket, so it is always jammed. 2. If we do get the tickets, the theatre will be so crowded that I won’t be able to sit with my friends, or we’ll have to sit in a front row gaping up at a giant screen. 3. That entitles me to sit while my shoes seal themselves to a sticky floor coated with spilled soda, bubble gum, and crushed Raisins. 4. To begin with, I just don’t enjoy the general hassle of the evening. 5. Then it’s time to stand in an endless line, with the constant threat that tickets for the show I want will sell out. 6. Since small local movie theaters are a thing of the past, I have to drive for fifteen minutes to get to the nearest multiplex. 7. I have to drive around at a snail’s pace until I spot another driver backing out. 8. I have to shell out a ridiculous amount of money - up to $8- for a ticket.
