Does someone explain the dialogue of the clip of the movie �You�ve got mail�to me?
See below.

Dialogue:
JOE Knock knock.
CASHIER Who's there?
JOE Orange.
CASHIER Orange who?
JOE Orange you going to give us a break and zipping this credit
card through the credit card machine? C'mon. You can do it.
Zip, zip. There you go. Rose. Ah, that is a great name. So,
you're fine.

P.S.If there are any mistakes in my writing, please rewrite it for me.
Thanks in advance

This is called a "knock knock joke". It is a play on words. For more examples, search on the web under "knock knock jokes"
Joe is making a joke to be friendly

"...orange you going to..." means "Aren't you going to..." orange and aren't sound alike in different accents within the English language.
