I could not get over the fact that Baby had the head phone backwards – on his right ear he had the left and on his left ear the right. Don’t even know why it bothered me so.
I got to the theater a little late because I had actually gone to the Arbor Theater – mistakenly. I missed all the previews and the very, very beginning of the movie. But I did find my favorite seat.

In the mean time food is being brought to many of the other tables and a sandwich and a salad was also brought to the couple’ stable.
