Ronald: That sounds so expensive.
 
Sarah: But it's okay. It's worth it. Come on, Ron! Come on!
 
Ronald: How about my mother's tuna fish sandwiches instead?
 
Sarah: Ronald. We can spend a little bit more money than what you keep in that old stupid jar on your desk. Come on.
 
Ronald:Well, I was trying to save money for the honeymoon 8.
 
Sarah: Well, yeah. [ Yeah. ] Well, okay. Well, I've been thinking about too. I've been thinking about it for weeks.
 
Ronald: Me too. Now look, look at this Web site. We could go to Salt Lake City, Utah.
 
Sarah: That would be so cool! They have the best snowboarding and skiing, and their snow. It is the best snow. This time of year would be perfect. They have some really, really nice hotels. Oh, Ron, we're going to love that. That would be wonderful. I love skiing.
 
Ronald: I . . I . . . I was thinking about visiting some of the local art and natural history museums instead. [ What? ] Snow skiing just isn't my thing.
 
Sarah: Oh, Ron. Come on.
 
Ronald: You . . . you know. I don't do well in the cold.
 
Sarah: Brother!
 
Ronald: Oh, yeah! [ What? ] That's a good idea. Let me call my brother. [ No way! ] He lives there, and he probably could let us stay at his house.
