Carol from the Village Market calls Bob to discuss Susan's Scrumptious Cookies. Carol and Bob discuss how much Bob will receive for each cookie.

　　Carol: Hi Bob. How's it going?

　　Bob: Fine thanks, Carol. How are you?

　　Carol: Can't complain. Bob, I've had a chance to crunch some numbers. I can pay you 50 cents per cookie.

　　Bob: That's out of the question. At that price, it's not worth our while. The ingredients alone cost us 30 cents per cookie.

　　Carol: Okay, let me sweeten the deal -- 60 cents per cookie?

　　Bob: Carol, my wife and I need to make a living from this business.

　　Carol: Okay, okay, you've twisted my arm. I'll pay you 75 cents per cookie. Take it or leave it!

　　Bob: Now you're talking! We'll take it.

　　Carol: You drive a hard bargain, Bob.

　　Bob: Yes, but we make a good cookie.

　　Carol: Let's get the ball rolling. Bring me 2,000 cookies on Monday morning by 9 a.m.
