 Man:       Hi, I made a reservation for a mid-size vehicle.
           The name is Jimmy Fox.

 Agent:     I’m sorry, we have no mid-size available at the
            moment.

 Man:       I don’t understand, I made a reservation, do
           you have my reservation?

 Agent:    Yes, we do, unfortunately we ran out of cars.

 Man:       But the reservation keeps the car here. That’s
           why you have the reservation.

 Agent:     I know why we have reservations.
 Man:       I don’t think you do. If you did, I’d have a car.
            See, you know how to take the reservation,
           you just don’t know how to hold the reserva-
           tion and that’s really the most important part of
           the reservation, the holding. Anybody can just
           take them.

 Agent:     But we do have a compact or an SUV if you’d
            like.

 Man:       Fine. I’ll take the compact.

 Agent:    Alright. We have a blue Ford Focus for you Mr.
            Fox. Would you like insurance?

 Man:      Yeah, you better give me the insurance, be-
           cause I am gonna beat the hell out of this car.
