Hello, Direct Cinema.

Uhh, yes, I'd interested in buying a copy of "Luxo, Jr."?

Yes. Please hold.  (a few seconds pass)
Yes that's "Luxo, Jr."?

Yes.

Umm, that tape is fifty dollars.  (sounds apologetic)

Fifty dollars?  How long does it run?  (I've seen it before, and it wasn't
very long)

Uhh, please hold.... it runs about two minutes.

Fifty dollars for two minutes?  Really?  (sounding incredulous)

Yes, we mainly sell to schools and libraries...

Oh, I see.  I guess I don't want it at this time, but could you send me
a catalog?
