- Come on, Jed. Don't be such a wet blanket! Come with us to the state fair.

- …………………………………………… What if you can't find a publisher?

- It's not bad. It doesn't look like much, but at least it's transportation.

- Didn't your dad just give it to you outright?

- Sure, but it was his old one. What I really wanted was that sleek sports car I was looking at the other day.

- For gosh sakes, Mike………………………...........................
