(Toothbrush seller appeared)
SELLER: Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I am a seller from Huichen. I am sorry to have several seconds from you. In the time that 21st century is coming, we are happy to see a revolution in toothbrush — it’s our hi-tech product Diamond-type Diamond-brand Diamond toothbrush.
You might not know that after every day’s teeth brushing, bacteria will start to thrive in your mouth. It will cause dental caries, dental plague, bad breath and dental calculus. How to fight back? You just need to use the Diamond-type Diamond-brand Diamond toothbrush by our company every morning and every night. You can fight back bacteria, good breath, no smell, no caries.
Teeth brushing in the morning makes you look good, teeth brushing in the night excites your sexuality … because it’s the first toothbrush certified by CSA! And it’s the only brand recommended by CPMA.
Please don’t mistake me. The reason I come here is to show good news. What is the good news? This gentleman asked a good question! If you buy the Diamond-type Diamond-brand Diamond toothbrush from our company, you will get our promotion of “send, give, provide”! What is “send, give, provide”? This gentelman is asking again. “Send, give, provide” is that we will give you two Diamond toothbrush for free! Let’s go. Let’s fly in the life of healthy teeth!
CHEATER: I see, just give us.
(Cheater and Black took the brushes from the Seller)
CHEATER: Ok, you can leave now.
SELLER: Sir, the story is like this. We give you two toothbrushes for free, you buy one. It will be 16 in total.
BLACK: No more, I don’t want more, two are enough.
SELLER: No, you don’t get me…
CHEATER: You give it for free, we get it, what else do you want?
BLACK: Give me two more, he (MALU) doesn’t have it yet!
SELLER: No…
CHEATER: Wait, let me ask — you are going to have a “send, give, provide” promotion to customers, right?
SELLER: Yes.
CHEATER: Am I a customer?
SELLER: Yes.
CHEATER: I want two toothbrushes, can I?
SELLER: You can.
CHEATER: So what more questions do you have? Just leave, we have things to do.
SELLER: Not that, sir…
CHEATER: Why not?
(The seller looked at the three men.)
SELLER: I don’t sell it any more, just return my toothbrushes.
(When the Cheater and Black are just about to shout, Malu spoke)
MALU: A toothbrush will cost 16?
(The seller looked at Malu, found him easy to cheat)
SELLER: (To Cheater and Black) You might not understand what I mean. (Ran to the side of Malu) I am a seller from Huichen. We are going to make a promotion for the customers. We provide two diamond toothbrushes for free, you buy one, three of them will cost 16…
MALU: Wait, you just said one is 16.
SELLER: We are giving additional two for free!
MALU: We just need the free ones. Are you stupid?
SELLER: Boss, I am wrong. I am not easy to make life. If you really want, just give me 16 and you get three…
MALU: Wait, wait, I am just asking how much is a toothbrush?
SELLER: 16.
MALU: What about three?
SELLER: 16.
MALU: One?
SELLER: 16
MALU: Are you kidding me? I just want one. Do you understand? One, not three. Just one. How much? Take care of your words, I am out of patience.
SELLER: (Hesitating, speak in low voice) 16…
MALU: I don’t understand! I don’t understand!
SELLER: If you really want I can give you for free…
MALU: No, why should you give me for free? Do you know me? You want to come in? You want to sell toothbrushes? I will buy. I just ask how much is it for one?
SELLER: We are in a promotion…
MALU: Stop doing this, I just ask you how much for one?
(The seller started to cry.)
SELLER: Boss, I am wrong. I still have a 80-year-old mother to raise.
MALU: Why are you crying! It’s you who want to get to sell toothbrushes! I just want to ask you how much for one?
CHEATER: Don’t be serious, just let him go.
MALU: No, if you don’t make it clear, you can never leave.
SELLER: Sorry I am wrong…
MALU: Why wrong? Where is wrong?
SELLER: I give you all my toothbrushes just let me leave.
MALU: You want to leave? It’s not that easy.
SELLER: My mistake, I will never come back again.
MALU: Why are you wrong? You are not wrong! I just want to ask you how much is one toothbrush! One!
(Cheater and Black are dissuading excited Malu. The Seller is crying and putting toothbrushes out of his bag.)
CHEATER: Malu, give up!
MALU: No!
CHEATER: Toothbrush! (To the seller) I am talking to you! Sit down!
(The Cheater presses Malu on the chair. And the Seller sit down.)
CHEATER: Black, deal cards.
BLACK: Take it, Toothbrush, your card.
(The Seller is named Toothbrush from now on)
TOOTHBRUSH: How much should we play?
BLACK: How much do you have?
TOOTHBRUSH: I don’t have money, just toothbrush.
CHEATER: Also ok. Deal!
