Justin: Are you ready?

Justin: Fine. Here it is. It's 201-555-0127.

Ariana: I'll call him tomorrow. I'm on my way out the door.

Justin: Yes, a take-home essay. I can't find my way out.

Ariana: It's late. Maybe you should go to bed and work on it in the morning.

Justin: It's due in the morning.

Ariana: Justin, Justin, Justin. It's like my mother always tells me—extreme procrastination oft leads to excessive caffeination.

Justin: Your mother uses the word "oft"?
