Buying Food at the Concession¹ Stand 

Jim: We only have three minutes before the movie starts. You grab two seats and I’ll hit the concession stand. 

...

Suki: Can I help you? 

Jim: Yes, I’d like a large popcorn² and a hot dog with the works. 

Suki: Anything else? 

Jim: Yes, I’ll also take an order of nachos and a pretzel. 

Suki: Sorry, we’re out of pretzels right now, but we have cotton candy, snow cones³, and pizza. 

Jim: All right, then give me a slice of pizza. 

Suki: Will that be all? 

Jim: No, I’d also like a box of licorice, a package of beef jerky, and an ice cream sandwich. 

Suki: Anything to drink? 

Jim: Yes, I’ll take two large sodas⁵. 

Suki: All right, that’ll be $84.50. 

Jim: What?! That’s highway robbery! 

Suki: Our prices are posted on the board. You can see them right up there. Do you still want all this? 

Jim: Just give me the soda⁴ and popcorn. 

Suki: Are you sure you’ll make it through the movie with just that? 

Jim: I have no choice. I’d have to commit robbery if I wanted anything else!
