     Can you break a twenty-dollar bill?

Hear the storyline. Jackie has a 20-dollar bill and wants to break it so that she may have some smaller bills and change for the laundry.
Cashier: How can I help you, Miss?
Jackie: Could you break a 20 for me?
Cashier: Sure.  How do you want it?
Jackie: Could I have two 5's and the rest in ones?
Cashier: Well, I have some 5's, but I don't have enough 1's.  Are quarters fine with you?
Jackie: Oh, that's even better!  In that case, I won't have to worry about the small change for the laundry.
Cashier: Here you go!
Jackie: Thanks a million!
