12. At the Window of DMV


A: Hello, I'm here to renew my registration.

B: Okay, may I please have your renewal notice?

A: Yes, here it is. Do you need my driver's license?

B: No, this is fine. It seems you missed your deadline.

A: Yes, I completely forgot.

B: Well, it's going to cost you a bit more to renew it.

A: How much more will it cost?

B: It was going to be $88, now it's going to be $120.

A: Well, I guess I'm going to have to be more careful.

B: It would be a good idea. Have you done the smog check?

A: No, is that required?

B: It is this year. You'll have to do it again two years from now.

A: Can I come back tomorrow?

B: Yes. Don't wait in line. Come directly to me.
