Summary: Slow dialog: 1:11 Explanations: 2:41 Fast dialog: 14:06 I went to the supermarket to do my weekly shopping. The cashiers at this market are usually pretty friendly, but this one must have been having a hard day. Cashier: Excuse me, sir, this lane is for 15 items or less. It looks like you have more than that. Yong: No, actually I have exactly 15. I have some coupons, too. Cashier: Just put those down on the belt and push the cart through, please. Yong: Okay. Can you tell me how much these potatoes are per pound? Cashier: I’ll have to do a price check. Do you have a club card? Yong: Yes, here it is. Cashier: Swipe it through the machine, sir. Your total is $47.52. Debit or credit? Yong: Debit. Could I get cash back? Cashier: [sigh] How much do you want? Yong: I’d like $40. Cashier: Paper or plastic? Yong: Paper, please. Cashier: Are these tabloids yours, too? Yong: Uh, yes, those magazines are mine. Cashier: Do you need any help out? Yong: No, I’m fine. Thanks. Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
