Went to go see The Color Purple with my family. Three-quarters of the way through the movie, my dad turns to me and goes, “Man, doesn’t that lady sound just like Fantasia?”

I was in the theater watching TCP and this woman I was sitting next to said to herself after my scene, not knowing I was sitting next to her, said “they should come together and kill him!” I slowly turned and looked at her, then I switched seats.
