B: not really. I wasn thinking of maybe going to a movie. Do you want to go with me?

T: sure. What movies were you thinking about going to?

T: yes. Isn't the director of that movie the same guy who directed Shaun of the Dead?

B: isn't that the chick flick¹ with Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson?

T: that sounds fantastic! What time is it playing?

B: it's on at 8:00 pm at the Phoenix² Theatres. I have a membership³ there, so I can book the tickets ahead of time.
