The scene opens with a bitter scene between two lovers. The lovers are talking in the street, and the narrator tells them that he has given them a ticket to see a movie together. He says that he gave the ticket to the lovers because he does not want to owe them anything, and that they are not going to see the movie on a specific date. He tells them to enter the theater, and then he asks what they are going to watch, and they tell him that they will watch a movie. The narrator says that they have come to the theater because he would feel bad if he did not use the ticket. He asks the lovers if they would like to subscribe to his story, and when they do, he tells them not to look at each other, as he has "got his eyes on you."
