B: Yeah, this dress is really nice! How much is it?

B: One hundred and fifty dollars? What about this other one over here?

A: That’s one hundred and forty dollars.

B: Hmm...that’s a bit out of my price range. Can you give me a better deal?

A: This is an exclusive design by DaMarco! It’s a bargain at that price.

B: Well, I don’t know. I think I’ll shop around.

A: Okay, okay, how about one hundred dollars?

B: That’s still more than I wanted to spend. What if I take both dresses?

A: Okay, I can give you a special discount, just because you seem like a nice person. One hundred and ninety dollars for both.

B: I don’t know... It’s still a bit pricey.... Thanks anyway.

A: Okay, my final price! One hundred dollars for both! That’s two for the price of one. That’s my last offer!
