W: What?

M: Yes. Today is the 19th, and your driver’s license was valid through the 17th. I’m afraid we can’t accept it. Do you have another form of ID?

W: Not with me. My passport is at home, but that’s 30 minutes away.

M: I do apologize, but this is our policy. If you want to continue with your deposit, you might have to go home and get it.

W: That’s OK. I’ll just come back tomorrow with my passport. I need to try to get a new license now. Otherwise, I won’t be able to drive home!

W: Can I help you?

M: Oh, I’m just looking, thanks. Well, actually, I’m looking for something for my sister.

W: And what exactly are you looking for?

M: I don’t really know. A dress?

W: Right. Well, what color does your sister usually wear?

M: Oh, dear…

W: Okay, what color are her eyes?

M: Green.

W: OK, purple usually suits people with green eyes.

M: Oh, great, purple’s fine.

W: Now, what size is she?

M: Um, well… she isn’t very big, but she’s not particularly thin, either.

W: That’ll be a medium, then. Well, we have this rather nice silk evening dress here…

M: Good, I’ll take it. How much is it?

W: $70, sir. How would you like to pay?

M: Seventy?! Uh, by credit card, please.

W: Fine. If you could just sign…

M: Here you are. Goodbye.

W: Just a minute, sir. Here’s your receipt.

M: Oh yes, uh… can she exchange it if it doesn’t fit her?

W: Yes, but she needs to bring the receipt.

W: Young man, I couldn’t help but overhear your conversation with the gentleman who just gave you directions.

M: Uh-huh…

W: I think he must be confused. The directions he gave you are all wrong. If you follow them, you’ll have a lovely ride, but you’ll end up at the zoo.

M: What should I do, then?

W: Come with me. I’m heading in the direction where you can catch the bus you want. We’ll just continue down Gold Road here for a few minutes.

M: OK, great. Thank you.

…

W: Here we are. This is the corner of Wall Street and Gold Road, and here’s your bus stop. Take the F-1 down to the river, and get off at Riverside Road.

M: And that’s where the church is?

W: No, transfer there to the L-5 going north. The end of the line for L-5 is just across the street from Riverside Church. The whole ride shouldn’t take you more than 30 minutes.

M: Thanks. I’m glad you set me straight. Is that my bus coming down the street now?

W: Yes, it is. I hope you have exact change. The driver doesn’t give change to passengers.

M: I have quite a few quarters with me. Thanks again! Goodbye.

M: Many young girls dream of being models. Now, my first question: How were you able to make your dream a reality?

W: I actually spent my childhood being a model. My mother put me in TV commercials and other advertisements when I was just a small baby.

M: Do you think that modeling has influenced your life at all?

W: It’s difficult to say. Sometimes I feel like it’s hard to make friends when you are a model. It seems like all they care about is my looks. I travel a lot, and that also puts a lot of stress on any relationships that I have.

M: What is your favorite part of being a model?

W: I really like all of the traveling that I get to do. I have been able to go to Europe and Latin America and a lot of other beautiful locations around the world. I think the best thing, though, is having people look at me and think that I’m beautiful. I love the attention.

M: Now, finally, do you have any advice for young girls that want to be models?

W: Sure! I just want to tell you guys never to give up, and don’t let anyone ever tell you that you are not beautiful…because everyone is beautiful in their own way!
