client 2: For a birthday party
clerk: Here I have different models that could serve you.
client 2: Oooh!, I like that.
client 1: A second, please, hello?
client 2: Who is it?
client 1: Just a friend, (*whispering*)
Hey, if I steal something they will know and I’m with my friend, I can’t do this.
(He *gets scared *) ok, ok, I will do it “ hangs up”
client 2: Hey, what happened?
client 1: Come with me one second
Scene 2
client 1: (**Whispering*)
I Need to take that t-shirt.
Client 2: What? Why?
Client 1: Today is my father’s birthday and I still haven’t got anything for him.
Client 2: You do not need to do it. Why don’t you just buy it?
client 1: It is too expensive and I already spent most of my salary!
client two: Then, get one less expensive!
client one: But he will love it! I need it!
Client 2: If you do it, not only will you be committing a profoundly unethical act, but you are also very likely to get caught sooner or later.
Client 1: They will not know! (He *proceeds to take the shirt*)
Scene 3
Client 2: I cannot believe what you have done! It’s unbelievable.
Client 1: And what have I done?
Clerk: You had the T-shirt and you were going out of the store without paying for it.
Cashier: Yeah! I saw you
Client 1: If I had wanted to shoplift the T-shirt, I would’ve been far away.
Cashier: But you did want to steal it. We wouldn’t be having this conversation if I hadn’t noticed it.
Clerk: Also you had the T-shirt in your bag. If you had the intention of paying for it, you wouldn’t have it in your bag.
Client 2: Thinking it better, I think this was just a misunderstanding. I have known him since 2012, he is a good guy.
Clerk: I understand you want to cover or help your friend, but the only way of solving this problem is watching the security cameras.
Cashier: We could watch the cameras if the Manager Store were here, but she isn’t.
Client 1: Then call her. Because we would not go if we don’t fix this problem.
Clerk: I’m calling her.

clerk: Hello, we have a thief, could you come?
manager: Yes, I’m going right now.
clerk: Ok.
Some minutes later ...
Manager of the store: I'm going to call the police if you don't return that now !!
client1: I haven’t stolen anything, those are pure lies, if I had taken something I wouldn’t have been here.
clerk: That’s not true, he tried to steal that!!
cashier: Yes, I saw him too.
store manager: I need to watch the security cameras, now everybody stays here
(*looking in my cell phone*)
clerk: There, look at him taking the t-shirt!
casher: JA! Why did you take a t-shirt?, if you were smarter, you would take a bracelet or any glasses.
clerk: yeah!
manager of the store: Stop making jokes, it’s not the time.
Both: Sorry.
manager of the store: Ok, now we know that he took that T-shirt. Let’s call the police.
client 1: Please don’t do that, if you do that I will….
manager of the store: What will you do? You can’t threaten me. now I have two reasons to call the police, for being a thief and for threatening me.
client 2: Hey, Fer, shut up!
manager of the store: Now you know that stealing isn’t a good thing, but you learned it, the worst way.
