“How much?! One million?! In cash or by bank transfer?!” “Wait! Don't move! Mom's going to buy a bill-counting machine right now!” “No, hold on! Everyone uses bank transfers these days... Did you take a screenshot? Did you screen-record it?” “Quick! Point your phone at the screen! Mom needs to check it with her titanium-alloy reading glasses!”
