Butcher: What can I get for you?
Gina: I’d like a pound of ground beef, please.
Butcher: Would you like the regular or the extra lean? The extra lean is a dollar more per pound.
Gina: I’ll take the regular. Could you also throw in two thick pork chops and two chicken breasts?
Butcher: I’m sorry, but we’re out of chicken breasts right now, but we have some thighs.
Gina: Hmm...In that case, I’ll just take some ham. I’d like that thinly sliced.
Butcher: Okay, is there anything else?
Gina: Yes, I’d like some other cold cuts, but I’m not sure which ones. Why don’t you give me half a pound of salami and a pound of bologna?
Butcher: No problem. Will that be all?
Gina: No, I’d like two steaks. Do you have any that are very, very tender? The ones I bought last week were really tough.
Butcher: We have T-bone, rib eye, and sirloin steaks. The rib eye is probably the most tender.
Gina: I’ll take two of those.
Butcher: Okay, anything else?
Gina: No, I think that’s all...for now.
