What’s the woman interested in?

M: Helio, ma’am, what can I do for you today?
W: This is quite lovely. Where was it made?
M: It’s the local pottery. It was painted here by a local artist.
W: It’s really something.., do you have anything else by this artist?
M: Sure, there they are.
W: Yes, those are quite nice. What about the prices?
M: Obviously, it depends on what you would like to buy. That plate that you were first looking at costs $ 50.
W: $ 50! I can’t afford that.
M: Remember these are hand painted pieces of pottery, that kind of handicraft work doesn’t come cheaply.
W: Yes, I understand that. But I really think that $ 50 is just too much.
M: Listen, I can see that you are in love with that plate. Let’s just make it $ 45. I’d really like you to take that home with you.
W: How about $ 35 ? I really can’t go any higher than that.
M:I really can’ t, I mean that would be selling at cost.
W: Well, $ 38 is absolutely the most I can spend.
M: All right. I really shouldn’t. The artist is going to have me put out of business for selling his wares at such low prices.
W: Come, come. Let’s not exaggerate.
