SA: Can I help you?

R: Oh, I'm just looking, thanks. Well, actually, I'm looking for something for my girlfriend.

SA: And what sort of thing are you looking for?

R: I don't really know. A top?

SA: Right. What colour would you like?

R: Um, what colours have you got?

SA: We've got any colour you want, sir. What colour does your girlfriend usually wear?

R: Oh dear ...

SA: Okay, what colour are her eyes?

R: Green.

SA: Right, purple suits people with green eyes.

R: Oh great. Yes, purple's fine.

SA: Now, what size is she?

R: Um, well, sort of, she isn't very big, but she's not particularly small.

SA: That'll be medium then.

R: Yes, good, medium.

SA: Well, we have this rather nice silk evening top here ...

R: Good, I'll take it.

SA: Are you sure you don't want to see any more ...?

R: No, that's great. I'll take it. Thank you. How much is it?

SA: That's £70, sir. How would you like to pay?

R: Seventy?! By credit card, please.

SA: Fine. If you could just sign ...

R: Here you are. Goodbye.

SA: Just a minute, sir. Here's your receipt.

R: Oh yes, er ... can she exchange it if it doesn't fit?

SA: Yes, but she needs to keep the receipt.
