Inside the theater the movie echoed him:
"Because all of you of Earth are idiots!"
Tom sighed, not for the first time that evening. The Manager, who paid
in cash every Sunday, had decided to take advantage of the bizarre
tastes of his Gen X clients and offer an Ed Wood film festival. "Bride
of the Monster", "Plan 9 From Outer Space", and "Night of the Ghouls"
ran on the second, smaller screen on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, two
bucks a head. Carloads of costumed goons from Madison assaulted the
theater in droves, throwing popcorn at the screen whenever they saw a
particularly bad moment of cinema history. Which meant that Kurt spent
a lot of extra time cleaning the theater. He had mentioned this
problem to his boss, but his only response had been a toothy grin. The
Manager was making a killing.
Tom, who needed the job in order to move out of his parents' trailer
home, found little about the Ed Wood canon amusing. Even so, he had
been forced to hear the dialog of each film every Friday, Saturday, and
Sunday... The soundproofing between theater two and the lobby was
nonexistent.
