Hey, Sis. Are you interested in buying some used books for school? You can really save some money that way.
Well, what do you have?
Well, let's see. I have a science book called, Today's World, and I'm selling it for thirty dollars.
Thirty? That's a little expensive for a beat-up book like that.
Maybe so, but I bought it for sixty. Plus, I wrote a lot of notes in the book that should help you with the class ... if you could read my writing.
What else are you selling?
Okay, I have English writing textbook for fourteen dollars, a math book for twenty-three, and a novel for only seven bucks.
Uh, Hmmm.
It's up to you. You know, these things go fast. I mean you have to listen to my advice as your older brother.
Psh. I'll take the English book and the novel. I need both of those for sure. I think I'll hold off on buying other books for now. [Okay.] Teachers are always changing their minds about textbooks. [Alright.] And, what are those books?
Which ones? Ah, ah, nothing. Never mind.
Wait, wait, wait. Finding Your Perfect Someone. You're selling it for forty dollars? What's, what's this all about? And the price?
Well. You .. It's a ... It's just a marital relations class. You know about finding a partner. You know, mom's always, you know, on me about that. What does it matter to you anyway?
Forty dollars? That's a little expense.
Well, they guarantee results, but ah, never mind. You would never understand.
What about this one? Introduction to Gourmet Cooking? Why did you take this class? You hate cooking.
Well, um, I have a friend who's into cooking, and she's [She?] ... I mean, my friend's taking the class. I mean, ugh, does it really matter?
A marriage class ... a close female friend ... a cooking textbook ... I think I get the picture. Mom's going to be excited about this.
