   Sarah: Come on! We only have two more hours before the stores close and I want to make it to the outlet 1 stores.


  Aidan: I thought that when you asked if I wanted to spend the day together, you meant we’d go somewhere for lunch, go to a movie, or just hang out.
  Sarah: Isn’t this much more fun? Shopping centers are like Disneyland!
  Aidan: This wasn’t exactly what I had in mind.
  Sara: Just look. You have two shopping malls, retail 2 stores, outlet stores, department stores, and specialty 3 stores. What more could you want?
  Aidan: That’s great for you, but what am I supposed to do?
  Sarah: You can come with me, watch me try on clothes, and help me decide what to buy. Come on, I want to go to those stores in the strip mall over there.
  Aidan: Why don’t I just find a place to get a snack and wait for you? I’m just dead weight when it comes to shopping.
  Sarah: But I thought you wanted to spend the day together.
  Aidan: I did, but I didn’t know I’d have to go to shopping hell to do it.
