- But if you'll tell me your wishes, it's quite possible I could take care of them to your satisfaction.

- Well, I noticed in your shop window that you're having a summer sale.

- Oh, yes, madam. Everything in the shop is marked down 25 percent. Some articles even more.

- Well, we have... Now, take for instance this compact. Yesterday you couldn't get it for a penny less than $3.90 and today, we're selling it for $2.25.

- Oh, really? Yes, that's a wonderful bargain.

- Yeah, well, everything in the shop is a bargain today.

- Yes, I imagine you'll be doing your big business.

- Oh, well, I have no doubt of it.

- You were very wise to come early. We'll probably have such a rush and won't be able to take care of the customers.

- Well, in that case, maybe you should take on some extra help.

- Oh, we probably will.

- Well, maybe you could use me. I'm looking for a job.

- You know, that wasn't very nice... letting me go through the whole routine.

- Oh, I'm terribly sorry. I really didn't mean to.

- Do you think you could help me to get a job here?

- Well, I'd like to, but there's no opening.

- But you just told me you'd need some extra people because of the rush.

- Well, look around for yourself. You can see what kind of business we're doing.
