Episode 19: Tim's reward | |
Tim: | Hello I'm calling from McCarthy's. I helped you when you were looking at watches the other day. |
Customer: | Yes? |
Tim: | I think I've found something of yours. Have you lost anything? |
Customer: | Not that I've noticed. No, nothing seems to be missing. |
Tim: | Well, you dropped £150! |
Customer: | Really! |
Tim: | Yes. Now, how can I return your money? |
Customer: | Oh how refreshingly honest! But I think a small reward is in order, don't you? |
Tim: | Oh I couldn't. |
Customer: | You could. I'm sure you have a pretty young girlfriend who needs to be spoiled. |
Tim: | No I don't. I'm single just now. |
Customer: | A good looking man like you? I don't believe it! |
