Scrap gold prices at the theatre

I had tickets for the show which was to be on at the Odeon. Unfortunately, I had only two tickets, and I didn"t have anyone I could go with. I called all my closer and more distant relatives, friends and acquaintances, and no one had time to go with me to the theater. It was a contemporary comedy, with a lot of humour, it has been on at the theatre for a long time and it had really great reviews. In the absence of volunteers, I decided to go alone. It is difficult to decide because the second ticket is wasted. In the evening, I called a taxi and asked the drive to take me to the theater, where the comedy was staged. As I still had some time before the beginning of the show and it wasn"t raining, I waited in front of the theater. I noticed a man who was making an impression as if he wasn"t waiting for anybody. He was looking straight ahead, do not look at his watch, was just standing motionless, as if hurrying nowhere. I approached him with a beating heart and offered one of the tickets and a seat at my side. He looked at me puzzled, but, to my surprise, he accepted the invitation. He asked for the title of the show. - "Scrap gold prices", I said - "Scrap gold prices"? - He repeated, puzzled. I explained that it was the title of the performance and laughing, we went to the theater.
