"I need a pair of shorts. They're so hard to find. I saw a pair I liked last month, but I didn't buy them. Now, I'm regretting it. I know I'll never find a pair like that again. When you get to be my age, you just know when you're not going to find something you like. It's just par for the course. I like shorts, you know."

"Those are such lovely sunglasses."
"Thank you so much."
"Did you get them on sale?"
"No, Gucci, as you know, never goes on sale. They were only nine-hundred, so I figured it wasn't that big of a deal."
"Oh my God. Only nine-hundred? I paid twelve-hundred for mine."
"That's not so bad. What's a couple hundred dollars?"
