Clerk: May I help you sir?

John: Yes, I'm looking for a suit, size forty.

Clerk: Yes, sir. I'll be glad to show you some. Any particular color?

John: I'd like something in gray or blue.

Clerk: This is your size here. These are all good. Here's a nice gray one.

John: That's not as dark as I wanted.

Clerk: You want a darker gray? Is this more the color you had in mind?

John: Yes, that looks more like it.

Clerk: Take off you coat and try this one one.

John: The sleeves are not long enough.

Clerk: Try this one, then. The style is different and it'll probably fit better.

John: Yes, this one feels comfortable. The sleeves are O.K. , too.

Clerk: Yes, that does look good. I don't think it will need any alterations. Would you like to go in the dressing room and put on the trousers.

John: Well, let me take a look at this blue suit over here first. Oh, this price tag says $49.50. Are they all expensive as that?

Clerk: No, the gray one is only $39.95. The blue one is more expensive because it's lined. The material is the same.

John: Well, let's see about the trousers of the gray one, then.

Clerk: All right. Here they are. Go in that dressing room over there and put them on. Then come back here. I'll have the tailor see about the length.

John: Is there a charge for having the cuffs fixed?

Clerk: No, sir. There is no charge for having trouser cuffs fixed. There is anything else you need - slacks, shirts, ties?

John: Well, I need shirt.

Clerk: What size?

John: Fifteen and a half.

Clerk: A sport shirt or a dress shirt?

John: Just a plain white shirt.

Clerk: How about this one?

John: That looks fine. How much is it?

Clerk: $4.98

John: All right. I'll take it. Now how much is it at all?

Clerk: The suit's $40.75, with tax, and the shirt is $5.08. That's $45.83. Is that cash or credit card?

John: Cash, but I'll give you a check if it's all right.

Clerk: Yes, that'll be fine. You can pick up the suit any time Friday. Or would you like us to send it?

John: I'll pick it up, but I'll take the shirt now.

Clerk: Thank you very much, sir. Come back to see us.
