DIALOGUE4. ORDERING PROVISIONS
Ship chandler: 'Morning, sir. My name's Stock.
Second Mate: Good morning. Sit down, please. Here's the list of provisions we need. Are they available in the market?
Ship chandler: Well, let me see. I think I can supply everything but grapes. Second Mate: О. K. What are the regular prices?
Ship chandler: Oh, sorry, here is the price list. You may look it through. And how much money are you going to spend on provisions?
Second Mate: About 400 dollars.
Ship chandler: Very good.
Second Mate: Are the prices in the list quoted for a kilogramme?
Ship chandler: No, sir. Meat, cheese, ham and chickens are quoted for an English pound, eggs and bananas for a dozen, cucumbers, tomatoes, oranges and apples for a case and potatoes, carrots, cabbage and onions for a bag.
Second Mate: That's clear. I think that the prices of fruit are rather high. Why are they so expensive?
Ship chandler: You see, we've had a very dry summer. If you are going to take a large amount, we'll make a 10 per cent reduction for you (as against the prices in the price list).
Second Mate: That's settled. Now I'll put down the quantity of each item. Let's count how much it will come to.
Ship chandler: Well, the total sum is Can $ 354. 60. Second Mate: It seems to be О. K. When will you deliver the foodstuffs?
Ship chandler: What time will suit you?
Second Mate: Any time you say.
Ship chandler: Tomorrow afternoon then.
Second Mate: That'd be fine. Please see that the foodstuffs are absolutely fresh and the fruit and vegetables are ripe.
Ship chandler: Yes, sir. I'll see to that. We guarantee the quality of products. Anything else, sir?
Second Mate: Yes, some crew members would like to make individual orders for such goods as spirits, coca-cola, beer, chewing gum, tobacco, cigarettes, instant coffee and some other things. Let me have the price list if any.
Ship chandler: Here it is. Do you know that they are payed for in cash? Second Mate: Yes, I do. I'll inform our crew about the prices and make up a list of those goods by tomorrow.
Ship chandler: It's О. K. Right, then, thank you very much. Good-bye.
