Ellen: What are you wearing to the party?



Hiro: Your guess is as good as mine.



Ellen: Let’s look through your closet and I’ll help you pick something out.



Hiro: Okay, but I have to warn you. I have a pretty limited wardrobe.



Ellen: Let’s see, these black pants are nice, but they’re frayed 1 on the bottom. How about these jeans?



Hiro: You don’t think they’re too faded? There’s also a rip in the back.



Ellen: No, I guess those jeans won’t work. I like this shirt, though.



Hiro: Did you see the stain on the front? The zipper 2 is also stuck, I think.



Ellen: How about shoes? Do you have any shoes that are presentable?



Hiro: Well, I always wear these, but they’re scuffed 3 on the top and the sole is pretty worn.



Ellen: Okay, desperate times call for desperate measures. Come on!



Hiro: Where are we going?



Ellen: We’re going to a magical place with brand spanking 4 new clothes and where everything is flawless.



Hiro: Where’s that?



Ellen: The mall!
