W: Hey! You got a new television.
M: Yeah! It was delivered yesterday.  What do you think of it?
W: It’s huge.  It practically takes up the entire side of the room.
M: I know.  I know. You don’t think it’s, well, excessive, do you?
W: I didn’t say that. I mean, ’if you enjoy it, why not? What happened to your old TV, anyhow?
M: It just stopped working last Friday.  It was pretty old and didn’t work well.  I thought I can afford it. Why not get a new one?
W: It must’ve been expensive.
M: Well, not as much as you might think. I got it on sale for 50% off.
W: Really? Where?
M: At the stereo city on Route 20. You know at first I just wanted to replace what I had. A TV of about the same size and quality. But the salesman was pushing these because of the 50% off.
W: Yeah. But 50% off what?
M:  $ 2,400.
W: You spent $ 1,200 on a TV?
M: It’s got a lot of special features.  Look at this remote control.
W: I’m sure.  But that’s still a lot of money for a television.  I didn’t think you watched TV that much.
M: Well, I don’t. Do you think I ought to return it? If I do it within a week of purchase, I can get my money back.
W: Honestly, yes. And you know that. I think you ought to read up on TV’s first and choose the make and model you want before you go to the store. That way you will get what you want.
M: I think you are right.
