LESSON 11: B O B DRIVES A H A R D BARGAIN
Abe: Hi, Jeff. How's it going?
Jeff: Fine, thanks. I've only scheduled a half hour for this meeting, so we'd
better get the ball rolling.
Abe: Jeff, I need you to come up with a new advertising campaign for my
furniture shop.
Jeff: I've had a chance to crunch some numbers, and you'll need to pay me
$30,000 to come up with some new ideas.
Abe: Thirty thousand dollars? That's really out of the question!
Jeff: Listen, Abe, I need to make a living too. I've got a wife and seven
children at home.
Abe: I'll pay you $20,000.
Jeff: If you want quality work, you have to pay for it. Let's say $25,000?
Abe: Okay, okay. You've twisted my arm. I'll pay you $23,000.
Jeff: Now you're talking. That's a fair price.
Abe: You certainly drive a hard bargain.
Jeff: I know, but you'll be happy with my work.

LESSON 14: AMBER AND TED HEAT UP T H E KITCHEN
I met Bob in college. He was in my English Literature class. I liked him
right away. For me, it was love at first sight. I wrote him several love poems,
though I never gave them to him. Then I found out he had a girlfriend. I
saw him making out with a girl named Joyce. It looked like she was crazy
about Bob too. But later that week, I heard that she was a nasty person and
that she treated him like dirt. So I decided to go ahead and ask him to the
movies. He said he was too busy. It was crunch time, and he had to crank
out a paper for literature class and study for several exams. But I didn't
give up. I kept plugging away. Then one day he broke up with Joyce and
asked me out to dinner. That was 25 years ago, and we're still together.
Fortunately, we're still head over heels in love with each other!
