 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Flick is a 2013 play by Annie Baker.The setting is an old theater called "The Flick", a one-screen movie revival house in suburban Massachusetts. The story revolves around three characters, workers at the theater. Sam is in his mid-thirties and still lives with his parents. He is facing the disquieting prospect of being stuck in a minimum wage job for the rest of his life. Rose, the projectionist, is a a wild free spirit who enjoys being the center of attention. Joining them as the newest employee of the theater: Avery, a 20-year-old man who is an extremely hardcore movie buff with an encyclopedic knowledge of cinema.Jealousies, friendships, and economic anxieties complicate the lives of the three characters. Meanwhile, the theater, one of a dying breed of cinemas that use 35mm film to show movies, may soon be sold and go to digital projection.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

 Anguished Declaration of Love: Sam finally manages to spit out "I like—I fucking love you" to Rose, while telling her how the intensity of his feelings is causing him to be unable to sleep. She rejects him.

 Black and Nerdy: Avery is a young black man. He wears glasses, he's socially anxious, he can be very shy, and he has an encyclopedic knowledge of cinema.

 Dissimile: Avery holds a grudge against Sam and Rose after the whole Dinner Money fiasco, when Paul blamed Avery and the other two leaned on Avery to take the blame and save their jobs. After stating directly that he doesn't want to be friends, Avery The Movie Buff talks about the ending of Manhattan where Mariel Hemingway tells Woody Allen she'll be coming back in six months and tells him "You gotta have a little faith in people." Avery then says "This is like the exact opposite of that feeling."
