W: Hi, Andy. I am going to Isabel’s. Are you coming?

M: No. The things are too expensive there for me. I can't afford it.

W: That is no problem at all. Isabel’s is having a clearance 1 sale, and today is the last day. You don't want to miss such a good chance, do you?

M: Really? That's wonderful. Can you wait a second? I need to change.

W: All right, but hurry up. It takes you hours to change.

M: I will. Do you think we can get something really nice and cheap? I mean this is the last day.

W: I think so. They don't sell shoddy cloth 2 for one thing.

M: Should we ask Cindy to come along? She saw the evening gown 3 made of silk last month that she wanted to buy very much. She didn't buy it of course. It would cost her three months’ salary 4.

W: She already bought that evening gown.

M: When?

W: Yesterday. She wore that gown last night, and showed it off to everybody at Mr. Mile’s party.

M: Oh? Isn't that like her.

W: Hurry up, will you? We’ll have to go to the gas station first.

M: All right, all right. I am ready to go. Let's go!
