Joe} I found it in a dustbin , you can find bargains , they are free as well .
Hayley} Yeah, but you can’t just steal stuff like that .
Joe} What , from dustbins ?, it’s mainly waste, no one is going to know .
Hayley} Are you sure about that ?.
Joe} Of course I’m sure, no one’s gonna run themselves in the ground for things from a dustbin .
Hayley} Ok, do you mind if I open it ?.
Joe} Yeah sure, go ahead .

Joe} Oh shut up, you are ruining the atmosphere of the moment , we have to live in the moment .
Hayley} You have gone completely mad .
