Some theaters, yeah, [ he says with a shrug, ] But the one nearest to where I lived was real small. With luck you'd get popcorn. [ he pauses and adds, ] Tickets were cheap, though. And then after, well, no one's gonna check if a ghost has a ticket, yeah? So it's unlimited movies any time you want.

[ another pause and he chuckles under his breath. ] You know, I'd go see movie productions sometimes, too. Sneak onto the set, go around, see how stuff gets filmed. It's pretty cool.
