Yes, if she has to sit through the ridiculousness of this film, at least she's not alone. And unless she's missed her guess, Motoko shares in her sentiments.

"I suppose. That does seem to be the thing to do in these sorts of situations. One might think this rather innocuous, but I find that it's the small things that often leave the door open for those with more- nefarious intentions." So at least they are in agreement on that topic, for all the good it does them.

"I would prefer it if that were the case, but I believe that's too optimistic. I haven't got a problem with optimism, except when it interferes with getting things done." She feels it important to clarify that. "I wonder what's happening outside this room. Can you hear anything?" Attempting to detect sounds outside the theater feels a bit like a lost cause, as the sounds of the movie playing are rather loud. But it's worth an attempt, anyway.
