    Hey, here's your boom box.
    I re-wired it. It works fine now.

    You owe me 50 cents.

    Man, 50 cents? That's reaI reasonabIe.

    Hey, a happy customer

    -$150.

    Hey, I gotta make up
    the differences somewhere.

    How eIse am I gonna get
    to basketbaII camp?


    "get to" here means "arrive" or "have the opportunity to go to
    basketball camp"?

    Does "get to" here mean "arrive" or "have the opportunity to go to basketball camp"?
    It means 'How else am I going to be able to afford to go to basketball camp?'
