Bang Bang and Money

So my friend Liz called me up today to see if I wanted to go to a late night movie at the Kaysville dollar theater. Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 was showing and we totally wanted to see it! So the movie started at 9:20 and we got there in plenty of time. At first we were the only people in the theater but then a few other girls came in...well at the last second this older man came in and sat down near us. Well there we are enjoying are movie and this guy whips out a briefcase...Liz and I look at each other like what the heck is going on. So we get scared...I mean that is a normal reaction for 2 girls in a dark theater, watching a chick flick when some random dude whips out a brief case. So now we are thinking we are going to get shot. So we move to the back by the door. Well he starts shuffling around again so we BOLT...I mean run out of there as fast as possible. We feel like idiots because we are acting like we are 12, so to cover up we go to the consession stand and ask the old man working when the show is over...we still have an hour. So we go back in and sit by the door again...so a few minutes later the guy is at it again and we are sure NOW must be the time we are going to get shot...so AGAIN we run out of the theater...meanwhile, I am sure the other 4 girls in there are whispering obsenities about how annoying we are (and rightfully so). Anyway, I go running out and turn around and Liz isn't there...I figure she must be shot but I'm not going back in because I have a husband and a baby. Then all of a sudden she is busting through the door, so I start running again. I look down at the floor and I can't believe my eyes. There is a PILE of $20's just laying there. I pick it up and count it...there is $140.00! I look at Liz and exclaim "It's the money you lost last week!!!!!!!" See Liz lost $160 last Friday and she looked everywhere...we were POSITIVE it was gone...but low and behold here is her money! We ask the consession stand man again if anyone has come out of their movie since our last incident and he confidently tells us no...so it really IS her money! So instead of feelings like bigger idiots and still being scared of being shot we left the theater...an hour early...and came home to our warm beds without the threat of being shot...we'll just have the rent the movie instead!
