Do you have change for a dollar?
Consider yourself lucky, old chap. I do. Why do you need it?
I need some change for the bus. They never have change and I always have to waste my time asking other passengers.
All right. How do you want it?
A couple of quarters and five dimes would be great.
Here is it. I hope that’s enough.
Yes. I’m sure it is. Thank you so much.
Oh! Great! Just what I needed!!
What happened, Stella?
I lost another dollar in the vending machine. This stupid machine is always out of order.
Oh. I’m not at all surprised. It’s happened to me too, a number of times.
This machine eats money like a hungry teenager eats hamburgers. We should make a complaint to the management.
You are right. I think for now we should put a sign on it so that the same thing doesn't happen to others.
Great! I forgot my wallet at home.
It’s okay. I’ll treat today.
No. Let me check in my bag. I think I have some money in there.
It’s all right, Bercy.
Here it is. I’ve only got 10 dollars. I’ll have to owe you the rest.
Don’t be silly. You might need this money to get home. I’m sure this is all you’ve got for now.
Let me get this check. You can treat next time.
I feel so bad. I don’t know how I forgot to bring my wallet.
That's absolutely fine. It happens.
Hey! Long time, no see! Let’s eat out tonight!
Did you get promotion or something?
No, I just want to have a good time. You don’t need a promotion or a special occasion to have a nice, quiet dinner with a friend.
Well, I can't take you out tonight. I’m kind of broke and cannot afford any fancy dinners, at least for another week.
Really? Why didn't you say something?
Why should I? I’m only telling you now to explain why I can’t go out with you.
Well, come on! I still want to go out for dinner tonight, and it’s on me.
Really? I hope you feel like having a good time everyday!
