I don’t have a ticket.
Man
Why not?
Transit Officer
I didn’t buy one.
Man
Do you have the money to purchase a ticket?
Transit Officer
Yes.
Man, waving a $10.
Do you know it’s an offence to travel without a valid ticket?
Transit Officer
I know. You’ve spoken to me about it before.
Man
Right…well, what happened when we spoke to you about it before?
Transit Officer
I was fined $130.
Man
Okay…[long pause] tell you what, mate, if you get off at the next station and buy a ticket, I won’t fine you again. But since we’ve spoken to you about it before, the fine will be $200.
Transit Officer
When will the next train come?
Man
The trains are running every half-hour.
Transit Officer
Oh. I guess waiting another half-hour is better than paying $200. [pause] Thanks, mate.

These people who work short days on Friday so they can go to the cricket: are they below your pay grade, or above?
Me
They’re at all pay grades.
Justin
But you won’t take off early.
Me
No, because I don’t really understand why it’s necessary to be [at the cricket grounds] for the full eight hours.
Justin
Well, you can’t BYO and they’ll only sell you light or mid-strength beer…
Me
I see.

Justin’s Mom points at a large glass jar of brightly-coloured, round-shaped discs.
Are those…condoms?
Justin’s Mom
I don’t think so.
Me
They look like condoms.
Justin’s Mom
Yes, but we’re in a candy store.
Me
…in a foreign country.
Justin’s Mom
OK. My guess is they’re diaphragms.
