 Butcher:            Hi. What can I get for you?

 Gina:               I’d like a half a pound of ground beef,
                     please.

 Butcher:            Good choice! Our ground beef is extra
                     lean, if you know what I mean.

 Gina:               Could I also have half a dozen pork
                     chops and two pounds of boneless
                     chicken breasts?

 Butcher:            No, no no no chicken breasts at the mo-
                     ment, but we have some nice chicken
                     thighs¹.

 Gina:               No, that won’t do. I’ll take this smoked
                     ham you have here.
 Butcher:            Okay, is there anything else?

 Gina:               Do you have any other cold cuts? Is this
                     salami and bologna you have here?

 Butcher:            Yes! It’s very fine meat! Made it myself...

 Gina:               Sounds good. Okay, that’s it.

 Butcher:            Wait! We have T-bone, rib² eye, and sir-
                     loin steaks. They  are  very  fresh! Just
                     came from the slaughter³ house...

 Gina:               Mmm...No that’s okay, really. I think
                     that’s all for today.

 Butcher:            Okay. That will be thirty-four dollars and
                     fifty cents.
