Buying souvenirs
A: What do you think of those lovely wooden trays?
B: They are biggish, and you are travelling by air.
A: And what about those carved figures?
B: Too heavy.
A: You’re probably right. Still, it’s a pity. (All the same, it’s a pity).
B: These copper ashtrays look nice.
A: Yes, but no one smokes at home. (Yes, but we are non-smokers, all of us).
B: Why not buy one of those amber necklaces?
A: They’re too expensive. Such a buy would make a big hole in my supply of money.
B: I suggest those linen napkins, then. They’re light, of good quality, and the price is reasonable.
The spendthrift
A: Look what a lovely bag I’ve bought!
B: Not again! Why, you’ve got a collection of them!
A: But you’ve no idea how cheap it was! A real bargain!
B: Bargain my foot! You know we must save money!
A: Getting good value is saving money!
B: Oh, come on! Be your age!
A: It’s no use quarrelling about trifles. We ought to earn more money, that’s what we ought.
Buying a present
A: Can I help you, madam?
B: I’d like to buy a silver bracelet for my daughter.
A: Have a look at this one. Like it?
B: Oh, it looks fabulous. She will like it. I think, I’ll buy it. Thank you.
A: My pleasure.
Bargaining
A: How much do you want for it?
B: Forty.
A: Forty pounds?
B: Yeah. It’s worth fifty, but I’m in a hurry.
A: I don’t know. It isn’t in very good condition. Look. It’s broken and look at this. It isn’t worth forty. I’ll give you twenty-five pounds.
B: Twenty-five? Come on. I tell you what – I’ll take thirty-five. Since you’re a customer of mine. You can have it for thirty-five.
A: No, that’s too much. To tell the truth, I can’t afford thirty-five.
B: Sorry. Thirty-five. That’s my last word.
A: Come on, split the difference. Thirty pounds.
B: Thirty. OK. All right, thirty.
A: Can I give you a cheque?
B: Well, I prefer cash, if you don’t mind.
