License to Kill

The lights had dimmed and the previews had begun as Paul and I walked into the theater to watch the newly released James Bond movie, "License to Kill." 

We paused for a moment and waited as we entered.  Then a flicker of light illuminated the theater and we saw two empty seats  near the front. Quietly and cautiously I led the way while carrying a bucket of popcorn and Paul followed with our large Dr. Pepper. 

One second we could see the seats and the next, the room was in total darkness. But confident we were at the right row, we stepped from the aisle and sat down. Only the seat I sat in was not empty.  I screamed and tossed the bucket of popcorn as I jumped up and knocked the Dr. Pepper from Paul's hands. 

Everyone around us enjoyed our mistake with the possible exception of the people that were covered in soda.
