00:17My father built this theater in 1973, and anyone living in this town or who loves movies
00:23probably had a life-changing experience here.
00:27We work in a wretched hive of scum and villainy.
00:34Hunter?
00:35It's crazy to see you still working here.
00:38It's like you're back in high school or something, right?
