Robert is trying to sell his house, and he is under pressure to do so rather quickly. Amanda, an old friend of his and potential buyer, comes to talk to him and to discuss the selling of the house. She is mostly quiet and asks questions in a polite manner. Robert emphasizes over and over again that his house is the best in the area and that for that price she will not get anything similar in the neighborhood. Amanda is rather impressed for all the information Robert provides. He keeps on going and says that if she does not like the price he will not lower it. Finally, raising his tone of voice, Robert indicates that if she does not settle in the price he wants, she may have to face some fees for making him lose his time, at which point Amanda chooses to leave.
