M: Hello, Madam. What can I do for you today?
W: This is quite lovely. Where was it made?
M: Oh, I see you have excellent taste. Yes, that is beautiful.[19]It’s the local pottery. I think it was painted here by a local artist.
W: It’s really something. Do you have anything else by that artist?
M: Well, I’m not really sure who exactly painted which pieces of pottery, but here are some similar pieces.
W: No, they’re really not the same.
M: Well, how about these here? I had them brought in just this morning.
W: Yes, those are quite nice. What about the prices?
M: Obviously, it depends on what you would like to take. That plate you were first looking at costs $50.
W: $50! That’s quite dear. I can’t afford that.
M:[20]Remember these are hand-painted pieces of pottery; this kind of handicraft doesn’t come cheaply.
W: Yes, I understand that, but I really think that $ 50 is just too much.
M: Listen, I can see that you are in love with that plate. Let’s just make it $ 45. I’d really like you to take that home with you.
W: How about $35? I really can’t go any higher than that.
M: I really can’t. I mean that would be selling at cost.
W: Well, $ 38 is absolutely the most I can spend.
M: All right. I really shouldn’t. The artist is going to put me out of business for selling his wares at such low prices.
W: Come on. Let’s not exaggerate.
M: You’re a clever one. Aren’t you?
W: I’m just someone who pays close attention to what I spend.
