Lisa, I'm going shopping downtown this afternoon. Would you like to go with me?
I'd like to but I have arranged to discuss the project with Mister Cook. I'm also going to a party with Bill this evening.
But you know, I'm not good at bargaining. How I wish you could help me.
Why not ask Mary to go with you. She loves shopping. She can help you.
Good idea. I'll go and ask her. Thank you.
You're welcome.
