Chapter 1, Activity 1

When Randall Leigh first asked his friend, he made himself sound conceited and that Brandon should give him the money because they are friends. That resulted in Brandon giving him an excuse that he needed the money.

Next, when Randall asked his crush, Kim, he tried to play it smooth and layered compliment after compliment. These compliments were obviously false and mainly pick up lines, so they didn't work in helping Randall borrow money.

Lastly, when Randall asked Nate, he used their past history to lay a base for trust and reason. Randall played humble and called himself "absentminded," this probably gave Nate the feeling that Randall was really sorry/regretful that he forgot his money so Nate lended him some.
