   The battery is dead.

Hear the storyline. Mary couldn't get her car started because the battery was dead again.
Mary: My car wouldn't start this morning.
Kevin: I used to have a problem like that.  Did you check the battery?
Mary: Yeah.  It was dead again.  I had to find someone to jump it for me.  It's driving me crazy.
Kevin: Well, maybe you should buy a new battery.
Mary: But I just bought this one three months ago.  It's still new!
Kevin: Maybe they were dishonest and gave you an old one.
Mary: Well, I don't know.  Whatever it is, I'm going to return it.  It's ridiculous!
