Эми: Тебе нужен новый костюм, Алан.
Алан: Мои старые костюмы так уж плохи?
Эми: В последнее время они сильно пообтрепались.
Алан: Я что-то не заметил. Очень удобные костюмы. И сейчас я не могу тратить деньги на новый костюм. Недавно я много потратил на машину. Я только что купил новые шины. Кроме того, у нас будут другие расходы. Надо покрасить дом. А краска сильно подорожала. И еще предстоит много ремонта по дому.
