For a time pass

Question

I always like to sit at our doorsteps and watch out for girls passing by our house. This is my usual time pass.
The movie will be aired at 5 p.m. exactly but we have come almost 2 hours earlier(3 p.m.) to the theatre. Now we shall loiter around for a time pass and come back at 4.45.
I roam/wander/loiter around in the vicinity of our house during evening time for a time pass.

Please correct my sentences and also suggest me better versions. Thanks in advance.

I think you are trying to use 'pass the time'.  Time pass is meaningless. Try them again.

Thanks Nona the Brit.
So I think "time pass" is incorrect expression which is more common in my part of the world.

Anyway, I've tried to rephrase the sentences as per your suggestions.

The movie will be aired/screened at 5 p.m. exactly in the theatre but we have come almost 2 hours earlier (3 p.m.). So now we shall loiter around to pass up time and come back at 4.45 p.m.
I roam/wander/loiter around in the vicinity of our house during evening time to pass my time.
