原文:

Dean: Hey, man. What's up?
Tod: Ah, first of all, I put a buck 1 in the vending 2 machine for a seventy-five cent candy bar, and the thing got stuck here in the machine. Then, I pressed the change button [Ah, man] , and nothing happened. [Wow!] Nothing came out. The dumb thing still owes me a quarter.
