Se-Jin: I got a hundred- dollar ticket this morning.
Laura: Oh, that’s too bad. But why?
Se-Jin: It wasn’t my fault. It was that dog.
Laura: What are you talking about? What has a dog got to do with the fine?
Se-Jin: Listen to me. A dog suddenly appeared in my lane. If it wasn’t for the stupid dog.
I wouldn’t have almost hit the police car.
Laura: You could have braked, couldn’t you? How fast were you going?
Se-Jin: Well, it was about 50, or even less. I was driving very slowly.
Laura: Fifty? Don’t you know the speed limit downtown is 40 miles an hour?
