Box Office Quote of the Day
I pick up the phone.
“Pacific Theatre Box Office. This is Ryan, can I help you? “
“Hi there I was wondering if you might be able to help me? Dr. Stevens just finished but the whole wire has come out of the braces and Cindy can’t eat! Is there anything you can do?”
Pause.
“I think you might have the wrong number...this is a theatre.”
“Oh.”
Click.
Good Times

I think you're underestimating yourself, there, Ryan. Maybe you COULD have done something. I mean, there are a lot of similarities between ours and the dental profession. That I can think of.
True, true. I could have said "Yes I can help! Bring Cindy in and we'll see what we can do. As I see it ma'am we have several options.
1. Bring her in and we'll use her as a prompt for a 24 hour theatre we're planning around dental themes.
2. Drop by and we'll work up a performance art piece about her called "Braceface: a Tragedy in Multiple Acts"
3:Run over and we'll use an assortment of stage craft tools to fix the errant wire and if all else fails we'll at least light her well. Perhaps a nice amber blush slowly blossoming to ocean blue with a dramatic 8 second cross fade.
4. We could interview her and compile a brutally honest oral history about seedy under belly of the orthodontic world."
But, alas I did none of these things. Sigh. I have failed you Cindy. I beseech your forgivness.
