　　Store Employee: Hi. May I help you?

　　Customer: Yeah. I'd like to rent these movies.

　　Store Employee: Okay. Do you have your membership card?

　　Customer: No I don't. Do I need one to rent movies here?

　　Store Employee: Yes, but it's free. It's just a card we issue to help us keep track of rentals and customer billing.

　　Customer: Okay, and how much are movie rentals anyway?

　　Store Employee: Well, new releases are $3.50 (Okay), and all other movies are two dollars (Alright), and you can rent up to six movies at a time. (Hum) We also have a five buck deal where you can rent any five movies for $5.00 (Hum), but this doesn't include new releases.

　　Customer: Oh, well, I'll just take these tonight.

　　Store Employee: Okay, let's see . . . your total tonight comes to seven dollars and fifty cents.

　　Customer: And when do I need to return them?

　　Store Employee: They have to be returned on Thursday by ten o'clock PM.

　　Customer: Thursday, okay. Store Employee: And there is an overdue late fee equal to the rental fee of the movie, so be sure to return them on time.

　　Customer: Okay. Thanks.
