Harry: You're not just unhappy -<br />
you're annoyed.<br />
Customer: Yes.<br />
Harry: But you're not angry.<br />
Customer: No.<br />
Harry: You're sure?<br />
Customer: Yes.<br />
Harry: Oh, you are angry.<br />
Customer: No! I'm sure I'm not angry!<br />
Harry: You're not angry.<br />
Customer: I'm not angry!<br />
Harry: Well, you look angry to me.<br />
Customer: All right, I'm angry!<br />
Harry: You're angry! Right. But not<br />
suicidal.<br />
Customer: That's right.<br />
Harry: Good. You're angry!<br />
Customer: Yes!<br />
Harry: Now. are you: (A) 'Very<br />
angry', (B) 'Very very angry',<br />
(C) 'Extremely angry', or (D)<br />
Absolutely furious'?<br />
Customer: Look, this is stupid.<br />
Harry: Oh, it's stupid, is it?<br />
Customer: Yes, it's stupid.<br />
Harry: I see. Would you say it's: (A)<br />
'Very stupid', (B) 'Very very<br />
stupid', (C) 'Completely stupid',<br />
or (D) 'Absolutely idiotic'?<br />
Customer: Look, all I want to do is change<br />
these shoes.<br />
Harry: Change the shoes? Well, why<br />
didn't you say so? You're very<br />
lucky, madam, because I have<br />
here another pair of shoes that<br />
are very similar.<br />
(Harry produces the corresponding<br />
red shoe and green<br />
shoe, and puts them on the<br />
stall.)<br />
Customer: No. wait a minute - that's a<br />
red one and a green one as<br />
well.<br />
Harry: You're quite right. OK. let me<br />
change this red one for this<br />
green one.<br />
(He does so, making a red pair<br />
and a green pair.)<br />
Customer: Thank you.<br />
Harry: And this green one for this red<br />
one.<br />
(He does so, making two<br />
mixed pairs again.)<br />
Harry: Satisfied?<br />
Customer: No.<br />
Harry: All right then. I'll change this<br />
Harry:<br />
Customer: Look -<br />

Harry:<br />
Customer:<br />
green one for this red one...<br />
(He does so, making a red pair<br />
and a green pair.)<br />
...and this red one for this<br />
green one.<br />
(He does so, making two<br />
mixed pairs again.)<br />
Just a minute - I've got a better<br />
idea. Your husband bought<br />
this pair of shoes...<br />
(He indicates one mixed pair.)<br />
...so if you buy this pair as<br />
well...<br />
(He indicates the other mixed<br />
pair.)<br />
Yes?<br />
...you can have one pair, and<br />
your husband can have the<br />
other.<br />
All right. (Putting the two pairs<br />
into her bag) One pair...two<br />
pairs. How much is that?<br />
Twenty pounds.<br />
Twenty pounds. (Giving Harry<br />
a £20 note) Here you are.<br />
No - it's twenty pounds a pair.<br />
That's forty pounds.<br />
Forty pounds?<br />
Yes.<br />
But my husband paid you<br />
twenty pounds yesterday.<br />
Did he?<br />
Yes. So you owe me twenty<br />
pounds.<br />
Harry: (Confused) Do I?<br />
Customer: Yes.<br />
Harry: Oh. (Giving back the £20 note)<br />
Here you are then.<br />
Customer: Thank you. Goodbye.<br />
(The customer leaves.)<br />
Harry: Goodbye.<br />
(Realizing his mistake)<br />
Er....no...just<br />
a minute...<br />
Come back!<br />
He runs after<br />
the customer.<br />
