Showing Off a New Purchase 


Monica: Wow, check you out! When did you buy a new car? 


Kevin: This isn’t just any new car. It’s a Ferrari. 


Monica: I can see that. It must have set you back a few. 


Kevin: Yeah, but it was worth it. You should see the looks I get riding around in this baby. My brother is green with envy. 


Monica: Then you’ve been showing it off around town. 


Kevin: No, I’ve just been showing it off to a few friends and family members. There’s no sense owning a fine machine like this and not bragging 1 a little, right? 


Monica: Especially since your brother has been gloating about his new boat, you mean. 


Kevin: There is that. I don’t want to toot my own horn, but I think a new Ferrari trumps 2 a measly new boat, don’t you? 


Monica: Do you and your brother always whip it out like this? 


Kevin: Like what? I’m just sharing my new toy with my brother. I’m sure he’s just as happy for me as I was for him when he bought his new boat. 


Monica: Truer words were never spoken.
