(In a night market)

Larry: Come and find something special for yourself. Everything here costs you only NT$ 100.

Grace: What do you have?

Larry: I have DVDs of all the latest movies. They’re as good as those showing in the theaters, but cost much less.

Grace: But where are the DVDs? I only see a notebook here.

Larry: All the movies are listed in the notebook. Just check the list and tell me what you want. Then I’ll pack them for you.

Grace: I see.

(Grace checks the list.)

Grace: Wow! You have Black Beauty! It just started playing in the theaters last night!

Larry: Yes. I’ve copied it as DVDs. Don’t worry. I’ve sold them to several people. Why don’t you buy one and enjoy it at home?

Grace: That’s not going to happen. I’m a police officer. Because of what you’ve done, you must come with me to the police station right now!
