The intent of the comic is identical either way, and there are no clues to help us decide, except for the timing of publication. They both seem pretty clueless; the terrible props, the inane conversation, and the simple fact that they have been in line *by themselves* for a long time, with no clear indication that they are even at a theater.  Is Randall trying to say that people queuing up to see phantom menace, are, to put it bluntly, stupid?  [[Special:Contributions/108.162.219.223|108.162.219.223]] 22:40, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

The first time I read this, without reading the explanation, I thought that they want to be the first to see the movie, even going as far as waiting for an abandoned building to become a theater. This way, they guarantee that they will be the first in line when the theater opens. [[Special:Contributions/141.101.99.245|141.101.99.245]] 04:03, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
