If I'm trying to catch a bus that leaves at 6pm, and I arrive at
6pm..and I ask the bus driver..

"What time are you leaving?" he'll say, "I'm leaving NOW!!!!"

It could be 7pm, 8pm, 11pm, he is always going
to give me the same answer..."I'm leaving NOW!!!!"


So, if I arrive at the store...
at 7pm when they close..

and I ask him, "Can I come in and buy something?"

he'll say "Were're closed Now!"


"Now" can have any number...





"Are you open Now?"

"No, we're closed Now!"

"Yes, were're open Now."


It's always Now.
