     I just lost another 50 cents.

Hear the storyline. Stella puts some quarters in the soda vending machine, but the machine is out of order.....
Stella: Oh, that's great!  I just lost another 50 cents in this stupid vending machine.
Bobby: I'm not surprised.  It's always out of order.
Stella: Yeah.  It eats my money relentlessly.
Bobby: OK.  Let me try.  You know what?  Whenever things like this don't work, hit it.  And it'll work.
Stella: You mean, SOMETIMES!
Bobby: (Hitting the vending machine hard.) Bang! Bang! Bang!   Hmmm...it usually works.
Stella: Let's put a sign on it so that the same thing doesn't happen to others.
