—And there’s your free potato scallop.

—Oh, no thank you.

—It’s free.

—I know. But I don’t want it.

—Well, there’s a free potato scallop with every order at the moment.

—Right. Yes. But I don’t want one. I’ve got enough.

—I’ve put it in the bag already. It’s free. I’tll have to go in the bin if you don’t take it. We can’t give it to someone else.

—Well do you want it?

—I’ve been here four hours, I’d rather stick my head in the fryer than eat anything greasy.

—OK. Well, thanks.

—Excuse me, do you want this potato scallop?

—Not really, mate. You couldn’t get me a pie, could you? It’s freezing out here.
