It's 7.57 PM on a rainy evening. Fernando has just finished his counting out for the evening and is about to shut down the computer when the phone rings. Against Fernando's better judgment, he picks up.
"Hello, Dominion of Movies."
"Yeah, are you guys still open?"
"I'm actually just about to close up."
"Well, can you stay open for a little while longer so we can come down and get some movies?"
"How much is a little while?"
"We should be in by 8.30 or so."
"I'm sorry, I have things to do at home. I open tomorrow at 2 if you guys would care to stop by then."
"We wanted to rent tonight. Would it be so hard for you to stick around?"
"Well, closing time is at 8. I'm not waiting around for half an hour to make an extra three bucks. Sorry. Have a nice evening."
Fernando then goes home and makes delicious spaghetti.
