What's that book you just picked up, Mary?
The one Prof. Lee uses inhis course.
Oh, I see. You'd better have it if you want to pass that course.
But it costs $30. I simply can't afford it.
Did you check the used book section here? Maybe they have it.
No, they don't. I asked.
Why don't you get it from the library?
I've been trying for months, and it's always out. There are over 50 students in the course, and every single one wants the book.
Listen, you know my room-mate Henry, don't you? He took the same course last year, and I remember he owns a copy. Ican borrow it from him for you.
Oh, that'll be great! Thank you, Jim!
