Long Conversations

A:  
 Helen:  Victor, there's a good review of your article on pollution in today's paper.
Victor:  Really? Maybe I should go pick up a few extra copies.
 Helen:  Do you have change?
 Victor:  No! I'm totally broke as usual. But I did notice a dollar on your dad's desk when I was sharpening my pencil in the study.
 Helen:  I hardly think he's going to miss it. Help yourself.
 Victor:  I'll grab it, and be back in a flash.
