Bob: Fine, just fine. You're a little late.
James: Just 5 minutes. I was delayed at the bank.
Bob: (rubbing his nose with his index finger and crossing his arms and legs) Well, alright. What can I do for you?

Bob: Before you go any further, let me tell you that we have just placed an order with one of your competitors.
James: (crossing arms and legs, his voice increasing in speed and pitch) I'm sorry to hear that. You should have waited until we got here. Appleton's prices have just been lowered by 10 to 20%.
Bob: (uncrossing his arms and legs and stroking his chin) They have?
James: (buttoning his coat and starting to rise) Well, I guess it's too late if you've already placed the order. Next time, give us a chance, will you?
