"I have a credit card!"  "Credit cards work on a completely different 
kind of lock."  "I don't think you understand - I have a credit card!" 
"You have a credit card?"  "I have a credit card."  "You have a credit
card."  "Oh, but my dad told me specifically, I could only use it in
case of an emergency."  "Well, maybe one will come up."
