Opening scene

“Hey, you're from the landlord's family, huh? I know. Eleven months. I've kept track.” She leans out of the ticket window, a pencil tucked behind one ear and a dab of blue paint on her nose. Behind her, the popcorn machine clatters. “The money can wait. There's one seat left for the three-thirty, dead center in row seven. Grandpa always sat there.” She slaps a handwritten ticket onto the counter, pins it down with two fingers, and doesn't let go right away. “Watch the movie first. If you still want to collect after that, I'll accept it.”
