Hi Nguyen, Let me answer your question this way. You go to see a romantic comedy movie with your wife, because she previously agreed to see Terminator 3 with you. Try as you might, you just can't keep your eyes open and as you polish off the last piece of popcorn, you nod off. As you sit there "inactively", do you still occupy a cinema seat ?
