"Hi. May I help you with something?"

"Yes. I noticed you're having a promotion on necklaces and earrings?"

"Why yes. You can pick any pair of earring from this shelf here and pair it with any necklace and pendant set from this corner for forty dollars or less."

"Ah, perfect. I'm looking for something to celebrate my friends' first year anniversary, you see."

"Oh, that's wonderful. What does your friend normally prefer?"

"Which one?"

"The one you're shopping for."

"Yes, which one?"

"I'm sorry?"

"Ah, I think you've misunderstood me. I'm looking for something for my friends. Two of them, not one."

"Oh! So... they both have one year anniversaries coming up?"

"Yes... Theirs. They've been seeing each other for a year now and they've decided to celebrate. A bit unconventional, but that's them."

"They? You're shopping for a couple?"

"Yes. Didn't I explain before?"

"Well, yes. But you're buying your friends, who're a couple, a necklace and earring set?"

"That's the idea. They're both partial towards jewelry, as long as it's the right sort."

"Oh! ...Well, um, may I ask what designs your friends like?"

"Well, Chris prefers a more punk-ish design while Diane goes for the tasteful, elegant styles. Odd combination, I know."

"Chris and Diane? As in, a man and woman?"

"Yeah..."

"Oh. Oh! I see! Well, of course, of course. Punk and elegant. Alright, how about this? These earrings are very popular; simple, dangly earrings that look elegant and matches almost any outfit."

"Uh... no. Like I said, Chris goes for more of a punk look."

"Um, yes. But how about the earrings for Diane?"

"Oh, she doesn't wear earrings. That girl doesn't have pierced ears. Hahaha, in fact, Chris has more piercings than her!"

"Oh... um... Alright then. So, the earrings are for Chris?"

"Yeah."

"And the necklace, Diane?"

"Yup."

"Oh, ah, right then. Perhaps these then?"
