Customer: Is this pink too bright for me?
Marilyn: Mmmm. It's a very bright pink. Try this.
Customer: It's size 8, but I wear size 10.

Customer: Let me try it on. I'm taking too much of your time.
Marilyn: It's 6 o'clock. Where's my husband? I was expecting him here at 5:45.
Customer: Don't worry. The traffic is very heavy at this hour.
Marilyn: I know. But we're going to be late for dinner.
