Jennifer: How much are you planning to buy?
Billy: Well, it’s not how much, but what I’m going to buy that matters. I’m going ski shopping!
Jennifer: Cool! Can I come?
Billy: No. The front seat folds down all the way so there’s just enough space for the skis…
Jennifer: But not enough space for me?
Billy: Not unless you lose about 100 pounds…
Jennifer: Billy…
