Hi, Ron! What’s up?

Nothing much, I’m just going to run errands today. How about you?

Same thing! I am on my way to my mobile service provider. I have to pay for my outstanding balance.

I’m about to do the same thing! I just got my cellphone bill and my debts are getting out of hand; I need to pay them off soon.

You should pay them as soon as you can so you won’t have to incur penalties.

You better get moving now before the cutoff!
