[speaker001:] Dad, can I have a pet? I did what you said and passed all of my exams.
[speaker002:] Then I guess you get to have a pet. Do you know what you want?
[speaker001:] I want a dog. My friend Mindy's dog just had puppies and she said I can have one.
[speaker002:] You know who will be responsible for feeding and cleaning and all of that stuff?
[speaker001:] I know, I know. I will do it all by myself.
[speaker002:] Have you figured out the costs involved with feeding and caring for it?
[speaker001:] Yes. It will cost me about $ 50 a month. And I make a little more than that already.
[speaker002:] Sounds like you've done your homework. I think you're ready for this.
