Brandon and Lauren are looking for a TV. "I was looking online," Brandon began, "and I saw this 150 inch plasma TV. It's by Samsung. It's like $50,000 dollars." "Wow." "I looked at a picture of a person standing next to it and the TV was taller than she was," Brandon told her. "I don't think you need that, Brandon," Lauren said. "I know I don't. I do want something big though." "Look at that one," Lauren pointed to a 60-inch LG plasma HDTV. "Wow," Brandon said. "How much is it?" Lauren asked, stepping up closer to it. "$3,799.99," he told her. "Do you want to ask about it?" she asked. He nodded and called over a salesperson. "I have one question," the man said. "Shoot," Brandon told him. "Are you actually interested in buying it or just asking me questions about it?" Brandon laughed, "Buying it." "Alright, good. This is an LG 60 inch plasma flat television. It's got a swivel stand. It's a really nice TV. I mean, it's incredible quality of both audio and video. It's got four HDMI plug ins. It's got an invisible speaker system. You can't see it. It doesn't mess with the style of the television. "How much is it?" Brandon asked. "It's $3,800," the man told him. "It's really nice, but I don't know," Brandon said. "It's a great TV. It's really thin. It doesn't take up a lot of area." "It seems kind of expensive, doesn't it?" he asked. "This is a nice TV. It's a very, very nice TV. We can't give it away," the salesman told him. "Okay, what about $3,500 then. I mean, that's not much of a difference," Brandon said. The salesman nodded, "We can probably do that." "Then again," Brandon started, "I think I saw one selling online for about $3,250 so maybe I should just get it, right? I mean, it's the same exact TV." "Look, we can only match prices if we have proof," the salesman said. Brandon pulled out his phone and went to the website. He handed the phone to the man. "Same TV, cheaper price," Brandon said. The man nodded, "Our guarantee is to match any price so we will match it." Brandon smiled, "I'll take it."



While Brandon set up the TV, Lauren had gone outside to lounge by the pool. Now Brandon was finished. He got up and pulled a bottle of Jack Daniels from his cabinet. He got out a glass and pushed it against the ice dispenser in his refridgerator. It spouted out several small ice cubes and he poured the glass about halfway full. He knew he might as well carry the bottle with him because he'd need to refill the glass in a little while. Lauren came back in in her bathing suit and he poured her a glass. He laid on the couch with her on top of him, holding the bottle in his hand and pouring a glass for either of them when they finished.
