A: | Hi there, can I help you folks? |
B: | I'm just browsing; seeing what's on the lot. My daughter wants a car for her birthday, you know how it is. |
C: | Dad! I'm sixteen already and I'm, like, the only one at school who doesn't have a car! |
A: | She is right, you know. Kids these days all have cars. Let me show you something we just got in: a 1996 sedan. Excellent gas mileage, it has dual airbags and anti lock brakes; a perfect vehicle for a young driver. |
C: | Dad, I love it! It's awesome! Can we get this one please? |
B: | I see... What can you tell me about this one? |
A: | Oh, that's just an old World War Two tank that we use for TV commercials. Now about this sedan... |
B: | Whoa, whoa wait a minute. Tell me more about this tank. |
A: | Well, Sir, if you are looking for quality and safety then look no further! Three inches of reinforced steel protect your daughter from short range missile attacks. |
B: | Does the sedan protect her from missile attacks? |
A: | It does not. |
B: | Well, I don't know. Let me sleep on it. |
A: | Did I mention the tank is a tank? |
B: | I'll take it! |
C: | Dad! |
