Long Conversations
A: 
 Victor:  Hey, Mike! Where are you off to?
 Mike:  I'm heading for the Price Chopper. I do a lot of the family shopping since my mom got a part-time job.
 Victor:  Can you give me a ride? I want to get some drinks.
 Mike:  Sure! Let's go!
 Victor:  Do you enjoy shopping?
Mike:  Enjoy? I don't mind admitting I hate shopping almost as much as I hate algebra.
  Correction! I hate shopping even more than I hate algebra.
Victor:  Yipes! A loose shopping cart!

B:  (They walk in from the entrance.)
Mike:  Today I'm proud of myself. I remembered to bring along my shopping list.
Victor:  You're becoming an experienced shopper!
Mike:  Gosh! Wrong shopping list!
Victor:  I'm sorry to hear that.
Mike:  But it's okay! I'm sure I can remember most of the six or seven items that my mom wanted me to pick up.
Victor:  Watch out for the cart, Mike!
Mike:  Thanks! You know, as I scamper through the aisles I can always successfully avoid the flying carts of my fellow shoppers.
Victor:  Whew! That was close!
      
C:  (They move up and down the aisles.)
Mike:  Victor, you see! I manage to pick up what I want in record time!
Victor:  Great! Let's head for the express line. Everyone knows express lines move much faster than regular lines.
 Mike:  All right!
 (They get in line.)
Mike: Unfortunately, this express line doesn't move at all!
 Cashier:  (Shouting) Price check on Munchy Cereal and Florida Grapefruits!
 Customer:  Now where did I put my checkbook and store coupons?
 Victor:  The next line has one shopper. Let's switch lines!
 (After switching lines)
 Mike:  Holy cow! Her cart looks like Mt. Everest! (Thinking of switching lines) Good grief! It's too late to go back to my original line. By now the line is three times as long as it was before!
 
D:  (At the check-out counter)
 Victor:  Thank God! The line moves along at a real fast pace.
 Mike:  Gee! I forgot one thing! (Saying to a lady) Uh, ma'am, would you please mind my cart for a second?
Female Customer:  Sure!
(A few minutes later)
