On our time

The scene
Oscar: Look who's on time! Well, on our time. The movie's actually at eight.
Arief: We've told you thirty minutes early for a year. Works every time.
Oscar: Don't look at us like that, people are staring. It was that or miss every opening.
Arief: Okay, we should've told you. Are you annoyed?
