I just saw a beautiful mink coat. It\u2019s absolutely gorgeous! Can I buy it?\u201d
\nH: \u201cWhat\u2019s the price?\u201d<\/p>\n

W: \u201cOnly $1,500.\u201d
\nH: \u201cWell, OK, go ahead and get it if you like it that much.\u201d<\/p>\n

W: \u201cAh, and I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw the 2024 models.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I found one I really liked. I spoke with the salesman, and he gave me a really good price\u2026 And since we need to replace the BMW we bought last year\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

H: \u201cWhat price did he quote you?\u201d
\nW: \u201cOnly $90,000.\u201d
\nH: \u201cOK, but for that price, I want it with all the options.\u201d<\/p>\n

For illustrative purposes only
\nW: \u201cGreat! But before we hang up, there\u2019s one more thing\u2026\u201d
\nH: \u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n

W: \u201cI was reconciling your bank account and stopped by the real estate agent this morning.<\/p>\n

I saw the house we looked at last year. It\u2019s on sale! You remember?<\/p>\n

The one with a pool, English garden, an acre of park, beachfront property\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

H: \u201cHow much are they asking?\u201d
\nW: \u201cOnly $450,000 \u2013 a magnificent price! And I see we have enough in the bank to cover it\u2026\u201d
\nH: \u201cWell, go ahead and buy it, but just offer $420,000, OK?\u201d<\/p>\n

W: \u201cOK, sweetie. Thanks!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll see you later! I love you!\u201d
\nH: \u201cBye\u2026 I love you too.\u201d<\/p>\n

He hangs up, closes the phone, raises his hand and asks the room:<\/p>\n
