　　A: I can't believe you dragged me out here at 4 am to wait for Best Buy to open. I'm still in a food coma¹ from last night.

　　B: Are you kidding? Did you see the door buster deals this year? We would've been stupid to not come.

　　A: A: I don't understand why you want all this stuff, though. Couldn't we have just slept in today and bought these things at home from the comfort of our pyjamas² on Cyber Monday?

　　B: Yeah, but the deals just aren't as good. I really want a new DSLR, and the first 15 people in can get one for only $299.99.

　　A: That's the only reason we're out here waiting in the bitter cold right now?

　　B: No, they have some great deals on DVDs and other gadgets³, too. We can stock up on small gifts so that we don't have todo anymore Christmas shopping next month. This is such an exciting way to get into the holiday spirit!

　　A: But honey, I'm Jewish – you know that shopping like this isn't really my version of "holiday spirit".

　　B: You're right, Hanukkah isn't really about consumerism in the same way that Christmas is these days. I'll make sure then to not get you that new 4k TV that is only $499.99 for the first five people in the door.

　　A: What?! $499.99?! When are these doors going to open?!
