Transcript:
Young man. we don't THROW things here at the book loft! S-sorry. It...Uh...Slipped out of my hand. Well, when it "slipped" the COVER was torn! You'll have to buy this! 'Kay. *snicker!*....You're buying a "BETHANY" treasury? It's for my SISTER! Then why were YOU sitting on the floor READING it when I found you? I hate myself. Ka-ching!*
I’m thinking that Nate, as an 11 year-old on a limited budget, can’t afford to buy an undamaged copy of the book along with the torn copy he’s already being forced to buy.
