D: Hey, Video Chair Elect, what's up?
B: Not much, Soda Chair Incumbent. And yourself?
D: Doing laundry. Excited about being Video Chair?
B: Not yet. How's Soda Chair?
D: Commodities Chair. But it's exciting-- we might be getting new Coke machines. Nobody buys the cans because of the one-liter bottles at MacGregor, so hopefully we can get a one-liter machine and sell bottles. It'll also be good because with a new machine students can use their card, which is another reason they don't use MacGregor.
B: I hear the card reader people take three percent of all revenue-- not profit, but revenue-- used with the card. That's why we didn't get them for our laundry machine.
D: Well, so we raise the prices a bit. It's just our parents' money.
B: Excuse me?
D: It's just our parents' money we'd be spending on the card.
B: It's just your parents' money.
D: Right.
B: Would your parents pay for my soda?
D: I don't think so.
B: Right, neither do I. What if I said it was your fault I needed to pay more for soda? Then would they pay?
D: Nope.
B: What would it take?
D: Well, you could marry me.
B: Are you proposing?
D: No. My parents would freak out. They'd need me to marry someone Jewish.
B: I am Jewish.
D: Really?
B: Well, if your parents want you to marry a Jew, they probably wouldn't be happy with me.
D: No, I think that'll do fine. They'd pay for your soda, then.
B: Okay. Will you marry me, then, Dena?
D: Sure. Okay, now I need to do laundry.
