Bhuel. Cad é mar ‘tá tú? |
|
Custaiméir |
I gceart, tú féin? |
|
Oibrí |
Go breá. Cad é ba mhaith leat inniu? |
|
Custaiméir |
Inniu breithlá mo mhamaí. An bhfuil cártaí deasa ar bith agaibh? |
|
Oibrí |
An ceann seo? |
|
Custaiméir |
Tá sé … deas ... ach ... ní maith léi bándearg! |
|
Oibrí |
Tuigim! Cad é faoin cheann seo? Tá uachtar reoite |
|
Custaiméir |
Tá sin deas! An ceann sin, le do thoil. Agus mála bronntanais. |
|
Oibrí |
An mála - cén dath ba mhaith leat? Dearg, corcra, gorm ... |
|
Custaiméir |
Dúghorm! Beidh sin deas. |
|
Oibrí |
Beidh cinnte. Trí phunt fiche don chárta agus dhá phunt tríocha don mhála. Sin ... |
|
Custaiméir |
Cúig phunt caoga. |
|
Oibrí |
Sin é! Níl an fón liom! Cúig phunt caoga pingin, le do thoil. |
|
Custaiméir |
Seo duit. |
|
Oibrí |
Cúig phunt - caoga - iontach. Go raibh míle maith agat! |
|
Custaiméir |
Fáilte romhat. |
|
Oibrí |
Slán anois! |
|
Custaiméir |
Slán slán! |
agus bláthanna 
air!
