Riley: Thank you, rest assured that I will be on time with my payments. And now let’s talk about the promised discount.

Dale: You said the offer had expired.

Riley: That’s right, but this is a brand new offer. If your girlfriend apologizes to me for being rude, and you come with me to the gala opening of the new science hall donated by my dad, I’ll give you a 60% discount. How about that? More than half off. Isn’t that a better offer?

Dale: It is, but I can’t take it.

Riley: Why not? It’s convenient for you, if you’re the smart businessman I know you are, you’ll accept it.

Dale: Sorry, but I won’t. First, because I don’t think Kelly will agree to apologize to you. And second, because I already have a girlfriend so I can’t be your date. I would advise you to find someone else, there are plenty of single guys on this campus who would definitely want to go with you, or, in any case, you could go alone.
