Ferenc MolnárAnecdote...

Molnár and a friend had been given complimentary tickets for a particularly uninspiring play. After the opening scene, Molnár decided to leave. "You can't walk out," hissed his friend. "We're guests of the management." Molnár reluctantly returned to his seat and sat through a few more lines of dialogue. Then he stood up again. "Now where are you going?" asked his friend impatiently "To the box office," replied Molnár, "to buy two tickets so we can leave."
