Unit 2

Take a look at this add. At 2.99 all-you-can-eat spicy Valentine's dinner at Hal's Hot House this week.

Sorry, dear, but I'm not interested in getting the second degree mouth burns I suffered from last year.

Come on, honey. It wasn't that bad. It's better than all that bland, creamy expensive forgettable fair we had at Chez Pierre year before.

Forgettable, but use to remember it?

I remember the price. All right, all right. How about something in between like a thick cheese berger with flies and double strawberry milk shake?

OK, I can see you getting nowhere. Why don't we stay home and order a tangy sausage pizza? And you can buy me a 2 kilo of box of extra Belgian chocolate.

That's fine with me. And price is right.
