Johnny

Four weeks, twenty papers, that's two dollars. Plus tip.

Lane Myer

Gee Johnny, I don't have a dime.

Johnny

Didn't ask for a dime. Two dollars.

Lane Myer

Well... it's funny see... my mom, had to leave early to take my brother to school and my dad to work cuz...

Johnny

Two dollars... cash.

Lane Myer

See... the problem here is that... my little brother, this morning, got his arm caught in the microwave, and uh... my grandmother dropped acid and she freaked out, and hijacked a school bus full of... penguins, so it's kind of a family crisis... so come back later? Great.
