You're close, but you changed the output messages (by removing the punctuation) so they are not being recognized. And the original code did not have two separate results for "movie" or "theater".

But instead of a total re-write, a better solution (and what the challenge was asking for) would be to just change the operators in the tests so they match what the original messages were putting out.
