A: I can't pay for the ticket.

B: Why can't you pay for the ticket?

A: What do you mean?

B: I am going to have to give you 36 hours of community service.

A: Thank you for the opportunity, Your Honor.

B: You will report to the nearest community service center.

A: They will tell me where to go?

B: Yes, they will give you an option of places to go.

A: Thank you, Your Honour. I greatly appreciate it.
