Please answer this: W: I think I will make some steaks for dinner. M: Then we have to buy some steaks. Don't you think it's a little bit expensive? W: It is a little expensive but it's cheaper than having steaks in a restaurant. M: What a good wife! W: Do you want to buy some beer for Mr Chen? M: Yes, of course!We all like beer, but I think this time we'd better have some table wine, don't you? W: Yes, you are right. We do need table wine for the steaks. M: I think I would prefer the California Rose. W: That's good for steaks. What else do you want to buy? M: A carton of cigarettes. W: Oh, my God! Why do you want to smoke so much?

Answer: M: What do you want to make for dinner?
Problem: W: Yes, I am. So are all these people in front of me. M: How long have you been here? W: About 50 minutes. I've hardly moved forward in that time. M: Are you kidding? W: Not at all. There was a couple up ahead of me who got so fed up that they finally gave up and left. They said they'd been here for more than an hour. M: My God. Does anyone know what's causing the delay? W: It could be that there aren't enough people selling tickets this afternoon. Or maybe their computers break down. M: I just hope they don't run out of tickets when I get up there. W: That really would be annoying, wouldn't it? M: I guess I should have come before lunch. Or has it been like this all day? W: Actually it has. In fact, before I came, I tried calling to order my tickets over the phone, just to avoid this long wait, but they don't take phone orders, or checks, or credit cards. It's cash or nothing. And you have to come in person. M: Well, there are two more hours before the ticket office closes. Tickets to a good concert are worth waiting for. So I think i'll just make myself comfortable.

A: M: Excuse me, are you waiting to buy the concert tickets?
input: Please answer the following: M: Some of these books aren't so old, though... See? This mystery was published only six years ago. It cost seventy-five cents. You can't beat that. W: Hey! Look at this! M: What? Are you getting interested in nineteenth century poetry all of a sudden? W: No. Look at the inscription! Someone gave this book as a present, and wrote a note on the inside of the front cover. It's dated 1893. Maybe it's worth something. M: Everything on that shelf is worth fifty cents. W: But if this is a signature of someone who is well known, it might bring a lot more. I hear William Shakespeare's signature is worth about a million dollars. What was said before this conversation?
