This episode is a dialogue between Spencer and a woman who works at the store about returning things to the store that were bought there. Let’s get started.

Clerk: Hello, how can I help you?

Spencer: I’d like to return a few things I received over the holidays.

Clerk: Okay, do you have gift receipts?

Spencer: I do for this item. It’s unopened and unused.

Clerk: Let me see.
