Tom: Hi, how much do you want for this?

Saleslady: 150 RMB.

Tom: What! Don't try to rip me off! I know what this is worth. 50 RMB tops.

Saleslady: No way! It cost me more than that. (Grabs a calculator) 120 RMB.

Tom: Come on! If you don't give me a better price, I won't buy this from you.

Saleslady: 110 RMB. Take it or leave it.

Tom: (takes the calculator and enters55) I'll giveyou 55 RMB.

Saleslady: I can'tdo that. I have to make a living. Give me 100 RMB and it's yours.

Tom: That's still much too expensive. (Starts to walk away)

Saleslady: Wait, wait! OK, 85 RMB. Final price.

Tom: If that's the lowest you're willing to go, I'm leaving. I'll pay 65 RMB, final offer.

Saleslady: You drive a hard bargain. I'm losing money on this, but alright. I'll let you have it for 65.

Tom: (pays the money) Thanks a lot. See you next time.

Saleslady: Bye.
