#Person1#: Dad, I need a few supplies for school, and I was wondering if...
#Person2#: Yeah. There are a couple of pencils and an eraser in the kitchen drawer, I think.
#Person1#: Dad, I'm in Grade 8 now, and I need real supplies for my demanding classes.
#Person2#: Oh, so you need a ruler, too?
#Person1#: Dad, I need some high tech stuff like a calculator and a laptop computer.
#Person2#: Uh. I didn't have any of that when I was in middle school, and I did just fine.
#Person1#: Yeah, and there weren't any cars either. Things are a lot more progressive now.
#Person2#: Great. My daughter will be playing video games in class.
#Person1#: Dad.
#Person2#: Okay. How much are these things going to cost me?
#Person1#: Well, I found a computer at the store for only 299.
#Person2#: Well, you'll be supporting me in my old age, so, I guess so. When do you need it?
#Person1#: Now, right now. Mom's already waiting in the car for us. She said she would buy me an ice cream if I could talk you into buying it for me today.
#Person1# tries to talk her dad into buying a few expensive supplies for school. Her dad at first is unwilling but later gives in.
