Cinematically Scrupulous
That person that's been trying to get together for months will not be stopped. The friendly, hopeful, golden-retrieverly-esque dumb texts pawing, begging for some type of solid plan to meet up. Just throw them the social bone while keeping to your normal habits with dinner and a movie - minus the dinner. Swap your Macbook for the big screen - and you'll be clocking in plenty of quality friend time. Two hours of beautiful bonding time. None of which will involve either of you speaking! So they overcharge for everything - you're keeping your pop-culture references current, your sweet tooth satisfied, and besides, even just one hour in those plush reclining chairs they have nowadays is worth far more than the price of your ticket.
