I'm sorry I left without you last night, but I told you to meet me early because the show started at 8:00. I (try)

five cups of coffee and I (wait)
over an hour. I had to leave because I (arrange)
to meet Kathy in front of the theater.
When I arrived at the theater, Kathy (pick, already)
up the tickets and she was waiting for us near the entrance. She was really angry because she (wait)
for more than half an hour. She said she (give, almost)
up and (go)
into the theater without us.
Kathy told me you (be)
late several times in the past and that she would not make plans with you again in the future. She mentioned that she (miss)
several movies because of your late arrivals. I think you owe her an apology. And in the future, I suggest you be on time!
