Lucy : It was a red light, William. You should've stopped the car.
William : Sorry. I didn't see it.
Lucy : I told you not to drink so much. Your breath reeks 2 of alcohol. We'll get into trouble if we run into a policeman....Slow down a bit.
William : I'm only going 60 mph. (They see a dog right in the middle of the road.)
Lucy : Look out!..(William swerves 3 to avoid the dog and almost hits a car coming the opposite way. That car happens to be a police car.)....Oh, no!
William : That damn stray dog!
Policeman : OK, buddy 4, your driving licence.
William : Here!....Listen to me, officer, it wasn't my fault. It was that dog.
Policeman : What dog? I didn't see any dogs.
Lucy : It's true, officer. There was a dog in our lane. If it wasn't for the dog, we wouldn't have almost hit you.
Policeman : You could have braked, couldn't you? How fast were you going?
William : Well it was about 50 mph or less. I was driving very slow.
Policeman : 50 mph? Don't you know the speed limit downtown is 40 mph?.... All right. That'll be one hundred dollars.
William : Wait a second! What do you mean "one hundred dollars"?
Policeman : The fine. It's one hundred dollars. Speeding and driving under the influence of alcohol. You can't fool me with that smell of alcohol in your breath.
