"I don't see the button, Howard."

"It's right next to Twilight, Vince."

Vince nodded excitedly, pushing the button. "Thanks." He grinned at his boyfriend, and they walked to the escalator, with Howard's arm around Vince's waist.

They made their way to the snack bar, which was a jamboree for Vince Noir. He stocked up on sweets, and then they headed into the cinema.

"Now this movie is fucking excilent. There's a twist at the end."

"Oh, really? I can't wait to see the twist."

Some Irish guy behind them groaned.

"Okay, so you see the sailors? This is preasent day. Set in the fifties. Okay?"

"Okay," Howard said lightly, not paying attention to the movie, but to Vince'd long lashes blinking.

"And the caveman kind of take away from the plot, but they're part of the twist." He lazily grabbed Howard's hand in the dark.

"For the love of God," said the Irish guy. "Will you two shut up and stop spoiling the movie," the Irish guy hissed. "I hate that!"

"Sorry," Vince hissed, turning back to Howard. They couldn't helped, and cracked up.

"Shut up," whispered the Irish man, but they only laughed harder.

After about ten minutes, Vince tried to whisper a bit more quietly. "And the lawman, there, he's beating up the wrong guy, but that's one of the twists leading up to the biggest twist."

"What does this have to do with Mars?"

"See, one of the twists that'll go on in about a minute, his wife is going on a mission to Mars." The Irish guy groaned at Vince.

"Oh, okay. Do they discover life?"

"No, we actually never see them on Mars. Something blows up."

The Irish guy groaned louder, and stood up. "YOU LITTLE WANKERS!"

"I never said that the wife's spaceship blew up! It doesn't! Their kid accidently blows up the house and kills everyone but the wife, because the kid's in love with the guy who got the death penlty, and the dad was beating up the guy who got the death penlty's twin, but the twin was in love with the kid, and it ends with the twin, twenty years in the future, dropping a rose on the mother, the father, and the kid's grade, because the mother killed herself!"

The theater was in an uproar, and Howard was blushing like crazy. "We should probably . . . go, Vince."

"YOU THINK?"

Howard dragged Vince out by the shirt, mortified. "We are never going to a movie again."

"A- Again? There's going to be an again?"

"Of course," Howard smiled out. "We have to make up for this. Only next time, I'm picking the venue." He wrapped his arm around Vince's waist, and they fled the cinema in terror of an angry mob.
