Darsie: What's up, how are you?
Lawton: I'm splendid. How about yourself?
Darsie: Could be better.
Lawton: So, have you been on the bus very long?
Darsie: I got on about fifteen minutes ago.
Lawton: How often do you ride the bus?
Darsie: I usually just drive.
Lawton: You have your own vehicle?
Darsie: Yes, I have my own car.
Lawton: So then, why don't you drive it?
Darsie: I'm waiting for our President to lower the gas prices.
Lawton: Smart.
Darsie takes the bus these days because of the high gas prices.
