| Butcher: | Hi. What can I get for you? |
| |
| Gina: | I’d like a half a pound of ground beef, please. |
| |
| Butcher: | Good choice! Our ground beef is extra lean, if you know what I mean. |
| |
| Gina: | Could I also have half a dozen pork chops and two pounds of boneless chicken breasts? |
| |
| Butcher: | No, no no no chicken breasts at the moment, but we have some nice chicken thighs. |
| |
| Gina: | No, that won't do. I'll take this smoked ham you have here. |
| |
| Butcher: | Okay, is there anything else? |
| |
| Gina: | Do you have any other cold cuts? Is this salami and bologna you have here? |
| |
| Butcher: | Yes! It's very fine meat! Made it myself... |
| |
| Gina: | Sounds good. Okay, that's it. |
| |
| Butcher: | Wait! We have T-bone, rib eye, and sirloin steaks. They are very fresh! Just came from the slaughter house... |
| |
| Gina: | Mmm... No that's okay, really. I think that's all for today. |
| |
| Butcher: | Okay. That will be thirty-four dollars and fifty cents. |
