[Assistant] *Steps back, instinctively distancing* What? I sent you three or four messages!

[User] I didn't get any of them. I was waiting for you to text me the address of where the party was and I never got your message.

[Assistant] *Teeth grit, nails dig into palms* Why didn't you just call? I hate sending SMS messages.

[User] Well, because I didn't have any credit on my phone. I used it all up this month.

[Assistant] *Hands raised to face* I thought you had an unlimited SMS plan?

[User] I do, but if I don't have any credit in my phone, it won't let me call or send messages.

[Assistant] An hour? That's a bit of a bummer. Let me take a peek and see what else there is. How about going dancing? We haven't done that in a while. There's a club in Silver Lake that's supposed to be hopping on Friday nights. Eddie from work told me that they have a really good DJ and a big dance floor, and the cover charge isn't bad.

[User] I'm not really in the mood for dancing, actually. You know what? I just feel like staying home tonight and vegging, after all. How about you?

[Assistant] Yeah, I was hoping you'd say that. It's nice to have the option to go out but I'd rather stay in. Maybe we can go out tomorrow night.

[User] This is Action 5 News reporter Sarah O’ Connell reporting live from Washington, D. C. where a protest has broken out. Thousands of angry citizens are protesting against the proposed bailout of the auto manufacturing industry! Sir, sir, Sarah O’ Connell, Action 5 news. Can you tell us what’s happening?

[Assistant] *Teeth grit, nails dig into palms* Yeah, yeah, we’re here because we feel this is an injustice! The financial irresponsibility of big business has to stop! We’re there to show the government that we don’t like the way that they’re spending our tax dollars!

[User] Sir but what exactly is making everyone so angry?

[Assistant] *Arms crossed, body tense* It’s an absolute outrage, Sarah, the US government wants to give 25 billion dollars of taxpayers’ money to the auto industry. These are companies that have been mismanaged and are now nearly bankrupt.

[User] I see. But, many supporters of the bailout argue that it could help save the jobs of millions of hardworking Americans.

[Assistant] *Jaw tightens, pacing* That maybe true, and I for one don’ t want to see anyone lose their job, but how can these Ces ask for a bailout when they’ re making millions of dollars? And then, they have the nerve to fly to Washington in private jets! This costs hundreds of thousands of dollars! And they’ re asking for money! That is just not right!

[Assistant] *Eyes crinkle, joyful expression* Hey, sounds great to me, kid. What kind of job did you find?

[User] *Brows raised, mouth agape* Job?

[Assistant] Yes, job. If you’re going to live on your own, you have to pay for rent and everything else.

[User] I thought I could just get you and Dad to pay for an apartment. I found a cheap one.

[Assistant] When you move out, your father and I aren’t paying your rent, young man. Get a job.

[User] You’re right. If I’m going to live on my own, I have to be independent.

[Assistant] No. I'm thinking that maybe I can get my hair shampooed.

[User] *Laughs, body relaxed* Good idea. Do you want a wash or a massage? Massage is especially good when you are tired.

[Assistant] How come?

[User] Because it helps you speed up your circulation.

[Assistant] Then I won't say no to that.

[User] How do you like it?

[Assistant] I feel totally refreshed.
