NICK： I think you made the right choice， coming to us.

We have a wide selection of vehicles you can choose from.

DAVID： I would like to rent a car with a good stereo.

NICK： All our cars have stereos in them.

Stereos， air conditioning. It’s all standard with us.

DAVID： Good. I am here visiting my girlfriend. I want her to have a good time.

NICK： Oh， is that so？

Well， then. Let me show you something she might like. It’s on our back lot.

DAVID： This is a Porsche！

NICK： Yes. Beautiful， isn’t it？

DAVID： But I probably can’t afford it. It must be really expensive.

NICK： Well， sir. You said you were looking at cars at the rental agency at the airport.

Now with them you’d spend your money and get nothing for it.

But you could probably rent this Porsche from us，

for the same price as one of their standard cars.

DAVID： But how can you do that？

NICK： It’s because our prices are so good.

And this car has a lot of miles on it. But it’s in nice shape， isn’t it？

DAVID： Yes， it almost looks new.

NICK： Take a seat inside and see what you think.

NICK： So you will take the Porsche then， sir？

DAVID： Yes， and I want to buy the insurance too. I think it’s necessary.

NICK： You’re smart to buy it. At 45 dollars for three days， it is a good deal.

DAVID： Can I return the car in San Francisco？

NICK： San Francisco？ No， sir.

We only have this office here. You will have to return it here.

DAVID： Really？ I heard in America you can return rental cars in different cities.

NICK： No， sir. That’s only with the very big companies.

I’m sorry， but this car must be returned to this lot.

DAVID： Well， I guess I will have to drive back down then. Hmm. I didn’t think of that.

NICK： Do you still want the car， sir？

DAVID： Yes. It will be fun. Driving back down the coast. My girlfriend will like it.

NICK： It’s a beautiful drive.

DAVID： Where are the keys？

NICK： Just a moment， sir. We have to finish filling out the forms.
