Mrs Brown: “My friend just sent me a text. She got $27.00 tickets for Wicked at Ticks. Can you get me the same deal?”

Agent: “Your friend is a liar.”

Mrs Brown: “I can show you the text.”

Agent: “Give me five minutes and I’ll show you a text saying I’m President of the Broadway. If your friend isn’t flat-out lying, she’s pulling your leg.”

Mrs Brown: “How can you be so sure?”

Agent: “Really? Wicked is the number two show on Broadway. Grossing more that 1.5 million dollars last week. In the nine years it’s been running, it’s never been up at TKTS, when you’re making two million a week, you don’t need to sell at half-price. More proof, you want, the cheapest ticket for Wicked is $85.00 so even if it were up, it would cost over $60.00, after fees and taxes.”

Mrs Brown: “Okay. You got me. I have no friend. I was just trying to get a good deal. You’re good, you know your stuff.”

Agent: “I can see why you have no friends…”
