Store Employee: Hi. May I help you?
Customer: Yeah. I'd like to rent these movies.
Store Employee: Okay. Do you have your membership card?
Customer: No I don't. Do I need one to rent movies here?
Store Employee: Yes, but it's free. It's just a card we issue to help us keep track of rentals and customer billing.
Customer: Okay, and how much are movie rentals anyway?
Store Employee: Well, new releases are $3.50 (Okay), and all other movies are two dollars (Alright), and you can rent up to six movies at a time. (Hum) We also have a five buck deal where you can rent any five movies for $5.00 (Hum), but this doesn't include new releases.
Customer: Oh, well, I'll just take these tonight.
Store Employee: Okay, let's see . . . your total tonight comes to seven dollars and fifty cents.
Customer: And when do I need to return them?
Store Employee: They have to be returned on Thursday by ten o'clock PM.
Customer: Thursday, okay. Store Employee: And there is an overdue late fee equal to the rental fee of the movie, so be sure to return them on time.
Customer: Okay. Thanks.
