sam: I had two.

me: How many ounces were they?

sam: Well, I had two before I went to sleep and the two when I woke up.

sam: Yeah, so four total. Um. they were the big ones.

me: You had four forty ouncers?

sam: Oh, not THAT big.

me: OK, Sam, someone else is waiting for me. How many ounces did you drink?

sam: Um, the medium size, between the twelve and forty ounces. Four of 'em.

me: That is a lot of beer. How can you afford all that beer when you can't pay on your fines?

sam: Yup, I guess so. Um, it was pretty cheap.
