al-usbuu: alii faat, we were feeling bored.
aHtaj a holiday, I said. But he said: "Why don't we go
and see a film bil lail?" It seemed a good idea, so rehnaa
to the cinema. But we arrived mit'akhriin. The film was at
as-saa:ah sab:ah illa ruba: and the film had started at
as-saa:ah sitar wa nuS illa khams.
We tried to get tickets. But al makiinat Sarf kaanat kharbaanah.
When we got together some money, a contest began as to
which film we would see. "haadha aHsan," he said,
pointing to the poster. "Yes, but it's the premiere so prices
are double," I replied. "This one is haadha arkhaS waaHid.
And we've both wanted to see it for a while."
Tickets and popcorn in hand, we ventured to get seats.
He found one easily but I could not see one yem-ah.
Was a little drama was unraveling? min umm-ah!
