| In response to Dad's request, she pulls out her checkbook from her pocketbook and a pen and writes out a check for eight hundred dollars. |
| I search my wallet for something extra, but I've only got a fiver and my checkbook is at home. |
| He then reaches inside his desk and grabs a blue pen and his black checkbook. |
