It's necessary if they're completed actions. If you're looking back on 
the situation and describing it as if it's already happened, then the 
perfective is necessary. If you're describing it as if you're in the 
middle of the action, you cannot use perfective.//Either could be used 
here, depending on things like whether the teller is trying to set the 
stage for a story or simply relate past facts.
