Sales person: You can have a broad choice here. Are you interested in a particular brand?

Shirley: Not really. What are these toys over there?

Sales person: Ma'am, these are complimentary¹ with each purchase. How about that one below the toys? This is the best seller. They are of the latest model that can be found in town.

Shirley: I don't like its color. A bit too bright. Do you have a grey one？

Sales person: Yes, we do. What a great taste you have! But we only have one left in stock.
