F：May I help you sir.
M：I’d like to change some US dollars to Japanese yen, please.
F：Yes, certainly sir, how much would you like to change.
M：I’d like to change 500 dollars.
F：May I see your passport, please.
M：I don’t have it with me but I do have my driver’s license, would that be ok.
F：No, I’m sorry sir. I need to see your passport. It’s the law.
M：Look, I’m not asking for a loan. I just want to convert my dollars into yen. Why do I need my passport.
F：I understand your frustration sir, but that’s the law. I cannot do something that is illegal.
M：Ok, do you have any suggestions.
F：Sure, the easiest things for you to do it is to use the machine in one of the hotels near here. You can borrow someone’s passport and then do the conversion.
M：So the machine doesn’t check my fingerprints or anything like that?
F：No sir. But there’s a limit as to how much you can change at one time. You also have to pay a higher fee.
M：Thanks for your help.
F：You’re welcome sir.
