Ask them to be quiet
The cellphone guys shouts back that you’re the one making the noise, in
the process calling into question your (pick one): weight, fashion sense, gender,
sexual preference, intelligence, and/or personal hygiene. You head down to his
seat to deliver a personal response, and in the ensuing shouting match you’re
hit in the head with a jumbo soda thrown from the back row in a bid for silence, which
causes you to tumble down the theater stairs. As you’re loaded into the
ambulance, you console yourself with the thought that at least you fought the
good fight for movie manners.
