Carly: Well, this dress was $8,995, but here at Vickie's we can offer this new dress for $2,600 with the veil and free alterations.
Neysa: I will definitely take it, but can you keep it here? I don't want my guy to see it, before the wedding.
Carly: Sure, we have secure storage offsite at a minimal charge. When is the wedding date again?
Neysa: Um, November 24, this year. There is still so much to do?
Carly: Well, let's get this dress into storage so you can get everything else done.

Carly: I don't think so. Did the contract print out Okay?

Carly: Well, thanks for choosing us. Let's find a dress for your special event. When and what are you looking for?
Barb: Well it's my third wedding---and it's going to be in Vegas in two weeks. I haven't had any luck finding anything with the right 'POW' factor for Vegas.
Carly: Well, white, short, long?
Barb: Not white, after two---I think that would be silly. I love pink and purple---you have some great dresses here.
