This episode is called “Going to a Home Improvement Store.” It’s a place where you buy things to fix your home. The dialogue is between Paige and Vern, they’re going to talk about something things would typically find in a store like this to fix up or to repair your home. Let’s get started.

Paige: I think we can get everything we need to fix up the house in one trip. What do you think?

Vern: We can try. It seems like everybody had the same thought when they woke up this morning: Go to the home improvement store!

Paige: Yeah, it’s a little crowded, but I still think we can get all we need today.
