Script
Shop assistant: Can I help you?
Customer: Yeah, I'm looking for a gift for my girlfriend.
Shop assistant: I see. How much are you thinking of spending?
Customer: Mmm, $100-200.
Shop assistant: How about a long dress? They're the latest style.
Customer: Oh, I don't think a long dress would suit my girlfriend.
Do you have any shorter dresses?
Shop assistant: Well, of course. And the short dresses are actually a little bit cheaper.
Customer: How much are they?
Shop assistant: The original price is $89.99, but now it's reduced to
$49.99.
Customer: Um, that's reasonable. Let me see. Yeah, I like the white one with orange flowers.
Shop assistant: Oh, that is a lovely print, isn't it?
Customer: Yeah, but I think it would be a little cold in the evening.
Do you have any dresses with sleeves?
Shop assistant: How about getting her a jacket to go with the dress?
Customer: That's a good idea! What do you have?
Shop assistant: Actually we have a sale on right now. And this grey cotton jacket is only $19.99!
Customer: Ah, that's a good deal. I like it
Shop assistant: What size do you need?
Customer: I think she takes a medium.
Shop assistant: OK, here you go. Take a look at this.
Customer: OK, I like it. This is a great store. Everything is so inexpensive.
Shop assistant: Actually, it's a factory outlet.
Customer: Oh, that explains it.
