History repeats itself

One fine day at the theatre:

Person #1: "Here are your tickets, go get a snack but it starts soon, i'll pick you up after the movie. Have fun!"

Person #2: "Yay, hey Person #3, lets go get a drink."

Person #3: "Swell, Person #2, lead on."


Person #2, while waiting for Person #3 to buy her drink: "Man, wouldn't it be annoying if i lost my ticket? I bet something dumb like that will happen to me, because it usually does, and its been a while since it last has." Searching through wallet quickly and slightly frantically, Person #2 sighs with relief as it finds the ticket and suspiciously watches it just in case. Just then person #3 returns:

Person #3: "Here are the drinks. By the way, i can't seem to find my ticket." Searches multiple pockets twice, then stops for a nervous rest. "Its really weird, where could i have lost it?"

Person #2 speaks with annoying calm: "Ah, yeah i thought i lost mine too, then i found it. I bet you just left it in a corner of one of your pockets. Search them all again."

Person #3: "I have." (over 10 times plus) "Let's look around where we've been."

Person #2: "Fine, but i still think its gotta be in one of your pockets. Whats the time?"

"Person #3: "It's not, how would i know the time?" (she must just not care, dork)
Neither one had earlier bothered bringing a watch.

Both persons search the aisles then turn around and walk back to the theatre. Eyes glued to the floor just in case.

Person #2, inwardly also mad at the world: "Whats the time? Check your pockets again."

Hint: The reason the persons are kinda over annoyed is because they left the bulk of their cash in the car they were brought in. Also, both persons are phoneless at this current time. So being expected to be happily watching a movie for over two and a half hours, they are stranded.

Passing thoughts of Person #2, #3 "Which of these many friendly looking people should we befriend?"

They both go to a phone and find the change they have isn't the right size, and force fitting it in doesn't work either.

Person #2, still calmly annoying: "We need to go get change. Wonder what the time is? Let me check your pockets!"

Person #3: "Grrr."

Person #2, gets bright idea 20 minutes after ticket was lost: "Oh i'll just go ask the ticket people, i'll be right back."

Person #3: "Sigh. That won't work. I'd better get ready for a long wait. Ooo, look rich boys."

Desk Clerk with a little too much ease, ironically points to the gate and says: "Sure, go right on in."

I think we've still got the China mindset.
