W: Hi, morning! What's up?
M: Nice to see you on way to work.
W: I just read a curious fact.
M: What is it? I like curious things.
W: (1)__________________________________________.
M: Was it an article in the Morning News?I saw it, too. But think, if someone runs into a gift shop for ten minutes,it's usually to make a specific purchase. That's why they would just spend a short period of time.
W: And someone who spends more time there maybe just looking.
M: Exactly. Haven't you ever gone into a store thinking that you'd buy something, and then talk yourself out of it?
W: Yes, I have. Especially when I thought I could get it for less elsewhere,or I really didn't need it after all.
M: Exactly. (2)___________________________________________.
W: That's true. Maybe we should learn a lesson from that.Take your time and you'll spend less money. We always have to budget our money well.
M: I doubt if that would be true in all stores, though.In a department store, for instance,you may see a sweater or something you never intended to buy and buy it because you have time to look around.
W: That's sometimes true. (3)____________________________________.
M: Yes, you're right. Here we are! The office is nice and warm.
W: I'll see you soon. Have a nice day!
