The Movie Theater Ticket

On Wednesday night, I wanted to watch a movie at the movie theater.
There were three movies, but I didn’t know the most interesting movie.
Before buying a ticket, I asked the movie theater staff.
”Excuse me, which movie is the best?”
That person said, “The second movie is the most interesting.”
After buying the ticket, I watched that movie, and it was very enjoyable.
