Well, do you.

Just a moment, please, I'll have to check.
Sort, come here, please.
*The 'bot looks up from dusting the books, puts the feather duster down and approaches the counter.*
Sort, would you go out back and see if we have any hubcaps for a '76 Pinto? Look behind the dumpster.
*Turns to Skylion.* Cross your fingers... maybe we'll get lucky. Do you actually have a Pinto that still runs?

You know, I don't think I have seen a Pinto, either running or rusting, with my own eyes for a looooong time. No, really, the whole speal is a line from Kevin Smith's Clerks.
Sorry to have troubled you and Sort.
Can I get some smokes?

Ahh... never saw that flick, I am ashamed to admit. I live not far from Kevin Smith's hometown. I heard it was good and I now I have an incentive to rent it. 'specially since I run a convenience store. 
Can't get cigarettes here. This may be the only convenience store in the galaxy that doesn't stock 'em. Maybe that's why business hasn't been so good.
How about a Slerpee?

A Slerpee sounds great, thank you. 
Mentos?

*Draws a Slerpee from the machine, inserts a straw and hands it over.*
Here you go. Let me know what flavor it is. It's always random, you know.
Now, are you offering a Mentos or looking for one?
*Sort comes back into the store carrying a single hubcap from a '57 Buick.*

I am offering you a Mento. They are the freshmaker.
**slerp** drinking Slerpee.
Minestrone?
That looks, like a cool hupcap. How much?

Witty Moniker Posted Sep 28, 2001
Thanks, but I'll pass on the Mentos. I make it a policy not to use products that have commercials I despise. I couldn't use Charmin until 5 years after Mr. Whipple retired.
*Looks at the hubcap.*
Hmmm... what'll you give me for it?

Well, I was going to give you the whole pack of Mentoes, and trade you some Charmin. But now, I don't know.

Very good.
*Wraps the hubcap in brown paper and ties it with a string.*
Enjoy!
