Obviously doing something wrong, cannot figure out what or why? Thanks in advance.

firedoor.py 
import sys

def start_movie():  
    answer = input("Would you like to start the movie? ").lower()
    if answer != 'n':
        print("Enjoy the show!")
    else:
        sys.exit()

Hey Jared,

Your function works perfectly, but this challenge isn't asking for you to write a function! You just need to delete line 3 and move lines 4-8 out of the start_movie function (un-indent a step). Hope this helps!

...wow...thank you AJ! seems to be this simplicity and over-complications that are throwing me snags learning this. Appreciate your feedback.

My pleasure! Sometimes it's easy to mix up exactly what the challenge is asking for. If you were writing a complete program, it would actually be ideal to write a start_movie function, so you could call it later. You totally had the right idea :) You just had a little more than you needed. Happy coding!!!
