"Amex, please. By the way, orchestra seating is men only, I assume?"

"Sir, this performance space is acoustically perfect, I assure you. Non-men are seated in the fourth and fifth balconies only and any residual shrillness that might annoy the audience is policed by our staff."

"Great. This is an important play and I'd hate anything to distract us."

"Of course. Your receipt, sir. Enjoy the performance."
