Maybe your date is thinking, "She'll have to finally shut up if I take her to a movie!" Hee hee hee!

As for the escalator, you could always say to him, "Would you mind if I hold your hand? I might get a touch of vertigo on this magical moving staircase!"

I'm trying to think of where the stairs are to go down. I know there is a staircase to go upstairs, plus the glassed-in elevators. But there must be stairs to go down. When you walk down the corridor towards the railing at the end of the mall, and if you turn your head to the right there used to be a set of doors there (swinging ones, I think). I haven't been to Park Lane in ages. I used to see people coming out of there all the time like they were just coming in from off the street or coming from a class that was held maybe upstairs. Check over the door to see if there is a sign that shows a staircase. If not, well.....handholding and vertigo works for me. Lol.

By the way, what movie are you seeing?

God bless,
