Blue cod

Maureen asks the fishmonger for a piece of blue cod.

...

Maureen: I need four pieces.

Fishmonger: Sorry lady. Only got one piece left.

Maureen: But I’m having three guests. I need four pieces.

Fishmonger: Sorry lady. Like I said, only one piece. How about one piece of blue cod, and three pieces of snapper? You eat the blue cod, and give the guests snapper. You know what I mean? (winks)

Maureen: I couldn’t do that. It’s not fair.

Mike: Wait a moment. (Goes out the back and returns with four pieces of blue cod). I was saving this for my brother. But good luck for you.

Maureen: I … I don’t know what to say.
