Paige walked to the popcorn stand. She joined a queue while looking at the menu. She really wanted a tub of buttery popcorn but she fancied a bag of something chocolatey. She looked at the menu for a while. She could get both, but she’d had trouble getting her favorite bra on. She didn’t feel like she gained weight, so she might have shrunk it in the wash, but on the other hand, if she had started to get plump, she wouldn’t be getting thin by eating all the cinema snacks she wanted. In the end, she decided to get both, with a coke.
The movie, “Loaded Words” was a romantic comedy, starring Angelina Jolie as Jesse, the female assassin, and George Clooney as Derek, the male lead. But the part that caught Paige’s interest was one particular gag. When they met for the first time, Derek seemed surprised that Jesse was so thin, since the only picture anyone had of this mysterious assassin was a high school photo taken when she was eighteen and weighed two hundred pounds. Jesse said she only lost weight because it helped her balance on the motorcycle she used for escaping. Then Derek said it was a pity and suggested she should get a car and put some of it back on.
At the end of the movie, after the credits rolled, a bonus scene showed them checking through a border to Canada with fake IDs to settle down with the millions they stole. Derek had just grown a beard but Jesse was much plumper thanks to a fat suit for Jolie, and the camera panned to the back seat full of fatty food. Paige looked at her empty food wrappers with some thought.
