64. What does that sign say? I can’t quite read it maybe if I move into the inside lane…
65. Look out, you fool!
66. Sorry about that! That can’t be right, it says “Washdon City Center”. Hey, what’s the matter with my car?
67. I don’t believe it; I’ve run out of gas!
68. Excuse me; can you give me a hand here?
69. Most certainly, my friend.
70. Gee, thanks. Can you help me push this car?
71. Most certainly, my friend. Your car’s broken down, has it?
72. As it happens, my uncle Ali runs a garage where you have your car repaired at a most reasonable price. Let me give you his card.
73. I haven’t broken down; I’m just out of gas, that’s all.
74. Oh, I see. In that case let me recommend an excellent gas station with most reasonable prices, which is run by my cousin Ahmed.
75. Here is his card.
76. How far is it to this gas station?
77. It’s on the New Camford bypass 1.
78. But that’s 50 miles from here!
79. About 50, yes.
80. Look, please, will you just help me push my car? There’s a gas station 200 yards up the road.
81. Sorry my friend, I’m in a most terrible hurry today. Must go. Why don’t you ask someone to tow 2 you?
82. At last! I’ll have ten dollars worth of unleaded, please.
83. I beg your pardon?
84. I said ten bucks 3 of worth of unleaded. Hurry up, please!
85. How dare you! Get it yourself!
86. I see! So that’s the kind of service you get in this place.
87. Excuse me, miss, I want to make a complaint about one of your attendants 4.
88. You what?
89. He was very rude to me, and I’m not going to put up with it.
90. We don’t have any attendants here. It’s self-service.
91. Oh, I see. So you have to, like, help yourself?
92. You catch on quick, don’t you? Hey, and when you’ve finished, make sure you come back here and pay!
93. You see, I only wanted ten dollars worth of gas, but unfortunately I kind of lost control of the pump, so I went a bit over ten…
94. Which is your car?
95. That gray and pink one.
96. You mean the rusty 5 one with the broken window?
97. Hey, it’s not that rusty! It’s in quite good condition, considering it’s got over 100,000…
98. That’ll be $10.27, please.
99. Here you are.
