Sam: You know, I don't believe this.
Diane: Oh, now, Sam, there was another couple there, and they were all ready to make a bid on it. I had to move quickly.
Sam: Yeah, talking about moving quickly, you get into my office right now and you call them tell them that I want my deposit back.
Diane: Okay, Sam, whatever you say. But first I want to call the decorator about ordering drapes.
Sam: Yeah, well, make it quick.
