Beat The Heat: Indoor Activities 101, Wednesday, Period 3
One of the great things about teaching a class all about fun things to do indoors? You didn't even need a reason to show a movie the week after one of Those Weekends.
He had the class meet him in front of Luke's Diner, for reasons that would soon become obvious. "So, movies," he said. "Great way to beat the heat. You're in a cool, air conditioned theater, usually watchin' somethin' decent. May not be the best movie in the world, but it's a rare movie that's not worth the two hours of time it takes to watch it. An' if you're good at goin' unnoticed, you can easily go from one movie to the next, so your one ticket purchase can be good for a whole afternoon of entertainment."
Look, if the school had wanted the students to learn lessons about honesty and working hard, they shouldn't have hired a thief.
"The one thing you can't cheat is the concession stand prices. Well, naw, that ain't entirely true. There are plenty of ways to cheat concession stand prices, but that ain't what I'm teachin' y'all today. The best way to get out of payin' for overpriced snacks is to bring your own. So, I'mma teach you how--though if you got some ideas, feel free to share with the class. Also, I'm expectin' y'all to only use this for big chains an' cineplexes. Small, mom an' pop theaters or specialty theaters need revenue from concessions to stay in business. Scammin' big business is okay, scammin' small folks ain't."
The Leverage motto right there. Ish. He'd summed it up.
"Also, don't try that nonsense about tryna sneak someone in. They're watchin' for that. Also, think about what you're tryna sneak in. Soda in cans won't work, the noise that you make when you open 'em is too distinctive. Anythin' super-loud that'll annoy the other patrons is also a bad idea, cause they might rat you out if you're interruptin' their movie by openin' bags of chips or clinkin' silverware. And the easiest way to get caught is to bring somethin' in that smells. Good or bad, it doesn't matter. The scent of somethin' other than popcorn'll get you caught real quick. So, instead, this is what you do."
Then he went on to describe several easy ways the students could sneak food in, though he downplayed using purses and backpacks, as those were more likely to get searched.
"A'ight," he said, and dragged out a box filled withmoddable candy, supplies, and clothing. "This is hard mode, cause it's summer and y'all can't wear jackets an' sweatshirts an' snowboots to sneak candy inside. We're gonna load up, head to the movie theater, an' we'll see what y'all can sneak inside."
