What is on screen today?

Katrina: We are here at the Movie House Cinema. Do you have any movie in mind?
Becky: Let me see. I do not know what is showing here in Ireland. This is the first time for me to visit one
of its cinemas.
Katrina: Movie houses here have the same basic features to that of other countries.
Becky: I was just kidding. Let us check the monitors and the movie posters to see what is on screen today.
Our officemates said they’re all good.
Katrina: The Dark Knight, Star Wars, The Mummy, and The X Files are now showing in Yorkgate. Which
do you prefer to watch?
Becky: I suggest watching The Dark Knight.
Katrina: I want to watch that too.
Becky: Have you checked the screening time? Come on; let us fall in line so we can buy tickets.
Katrina: It is only a few minutes before the movie starts. The next showing is at 16:10. Hurry, we still have
time to buy our snacks.
Ticketseller: Next please. Yes, which Movie House, film and time would you like, Ma’am?
Becky: Miss, I will have two tickets for The Dark Knight in YorkGate at 16:10.
Ticketseller: All right, that is £5 each for a total of £10 for two tickets to The Dark Night in Yorkgate.
Katrina: Ok, here is £10. Thanks!
Ticketseller: Here are your tickets. Enjoy viewing!
Becky: We still have 15 minutes left. Let us buy our popcorns and Pepsi.
Katrina: I also want to see the Star Wars, but we have been waiting for The Dark Knight movie? I want to
see Heath in this movie.
Becky: Yeah, you are right. I would like to see how this Batman series differs from the other batman
films I have seen. Christian Bale, Michael Caine and Heath Ledgert are very good actors. This is also
Heath Ledger’s last film.
Katrina: That is right. Let us be quiet now, the movie is about to start. The viewers will surely be furious
of us.
Becky: Ok, as you wish.
