Can I try this blue one on? Assistant: Of course. The fitting rooms are over there. Customer: Hmm, it's a bit too small. Do you have it in large? Assistant: Let me check... Yes, here you are. Customer: This one fits perfectly. How much is it? Assistant: It's on sale today, so it's sixty dollars instead of eighty. Customer: Great, I'll take it.
