Conversation B (At the mall)

Anna: Here we are, guys, I''m going to stop by Bergner''s first. I might just get lucky today. Who knows, some of their dresses might be on SALE.
Masahiro:Bergner''s?

Will: It''s a fairly well-known department store. Sort of like Penny''s. They''ve got some quality stuff. Wanna check it out?

Masahiro: Why not.

Anna: I need to get something for Lisa''s birthday. She''s into name brands. Any suggestions?

Will: A Gucci handbag or Calvin Klein T-shirt might be nice. Designer perfume is another option. Which reminds me! I have a 15% discount coupon for Lerner''s and Penny''s. I hardly ever shop at Lerner''s, as I''m not that big on women''s clothing. And I rarely shop at Penny''s, so go ahead and use the coupons if you can. Here they are (handing them over).

Anna: Thanks a lot, Will. That''s really very thoughtful of you.

Will: My pleasure, Ma''am!

Anna: Oh no! I was supposed to give Liz a buzz an hour ago! Hope I have a quarter (checks her purse).

Will: Need a nickle?

Anna: Actually, I don''t have anything but pennies in change. Does any of you have a dollar in change?

Masahiro: Sorry, I don''t, but I do have 35 cents on me. Will that be okay for the phone call?

Anna: Great! I really appreciate it. I''ll make it quick. Do you guys want to go ahead?

Masahiro: We''ll wait.

Will: Just don''t forget us.

Anna: I won''t. Why don''t we just meet here in 30 minutes?

Will: Sounds good. I guess I''ll just look around.

Salesperson: Can I help you, Sir?

Will: No thanks, I''m just looking. Well, just out of curiosity, how much is that necklace?

Salesperson: Twenty-nine, ninty nine.

Will: Really! My sister''s birthday is tomorrow. She loves jewellry. I just wasn''t sure I could afford it.

Saleperson: You''ll find that a lot of our stuff is amazingly affordable.

Will: Well, that''s certainly nice to know. I''ll take it.

Saleperson: It''s a good choice. I''m sure she''ll love it.

Will: Let''s hope so.

Salesperson: Cash or charge, Sir?

Will: Charge, please. Do you accept Discover?

Salesperson: Yes, we do.

Will: Great.

Salesperson: That comes to thirty one, ninty-nine with tax (handing him the charge sheet). Please sign next to the "X."

[Meanwhile, in another section of the store]

Salesperson: Do you need some help, Sir?

Masahiro: Well, I''m looking for . . . let''s see. I''ve forgotten the name again! It''s used to make fresh coffee.

Salesperson: A coffee maker?

Masahiro: That''s right.

Salesperson: Well, we have a few in kitchenware, which is upstairs.

Masahiro: Thank you.

Salesperson: You''re welcome.

[minutes later]

Anna: Oh, there you are, Masa! What did you get?

Masahiro: Just a simple coffee maker.

Anna: Good choice.
