Negotiating over the furniture
I'm interesting in your couch. How old is it?
My parents gave it to me seven years ago.
It got a few stains on it.
I'll give it to you for $150.
How about throwing a coffee table, recliner with the couch for 200?
All I got is $200.
It's a deal.

John negotiates over the furniture with the owner of the house.
All John got is 200 dollars.
They make a deal.

How much are you asking for this vase?
I'll give it to you for 3000 yen.
How about 800?
It's a deal.


For my girlfriend's birthday
I'm getting Jena a ten-dollar bouquet of rose from a store.
That's sweet gesture.
I'm short on cash.
You could make her something.
I'll build a bookshelf for her.
That's a very thoughtful gift.
I hope she'll like it.

John is short on cash.
So for his girlfriend's birthday, he's going to use the plied wood he has at home and build a bookshelf for her.

I'll get a bill, Vincent.
Thanks, I'm short on cash.
But you're long on talent.
So I am.
