Work was normal.
Work was dumb.
The last ten minutes of Black Dahlia are really good.
Maybe the accompanying hour and forty minutes are also good.
Sag-eyes was trying to win a girl's heart and he built an extravegant calendaer that went to the 54th day of the month and placed post-its over the days so every day she could peel one off and read a new message. She did what i knew she would and just looked through all of them and she eventually checked the 'YES' box.
I had to stand in the Covenant and made sure my presence kept the population of 13 yr olds as quiet as i could.
It worked.
When the movie was over in the very front row it looked as if these 4-5 girls spilt two or three buckets of popcorn all over the floor. One of them lost a cell-phone. So as i was sweeping they were looking.
-If it wasn't so dirty, you know, it might be easier to see.- I said. I didn't care about them. their phone. nothing at that point. friday nights have a way of doing that.
I didn't see a phone, probably lost it somewhere else.
Whatever.
One theatre down. What's next?
The girls hang around for a while after their movie is over and I check other theatres catching the ones that dropped while i was cleaning Covenant.
Ten o-clock rolls around and i clock out.
Fuck this.
I'm tired.
Me and Sag-eyes race and he wins. We're even. A lady and two of the girls i recognized from the Covenant come into the building.
The lady speaks to me, she asks if i found a silver cell-phone anywhere.
-Nope. We all looked. It's not in that theatre.-
She than says that the two girls saw me put it in my pants' pocket.
-Nope.- I pulled out my pockets. -I don't even a phone of my own.-
She than asks to see my manager.
I get Reganhart and the more munchin of the two claims she saw a silver atenna-less phone in a black case on my belt.
'Where?' My manager asks.
In his pocket.
-You got X-ray vision? -I ask.
'No where in the building?'
Right outside the theatre.
My manager rewinds the camera tapes and he doesn't see me go into my pockets or anything that would/could incriminate me. I walk away from it all because, I don't need this.
Sag-eyes and his lady friend are more entertaining than middle-schoolers impugning my honor.
I walk past them to go outside for a little while and i hear my manager:
'So is it your phone? or the black girls'? Cause i'm confused as to whose phone it really is!"
Stupid fucking girls. Get yer story straight.
Later i hear the munchin say that they were sitting underneath the Flyboys poster and they saw me walk past, cell-phone in my pocket, into the boys' bathroom.
I didn't go into that bathroom since the seven o-clock rush. They're fucked.
Bitches oughta know, I steal hearts, not cellular telephonic communicative devices.
