‘I only need one.’
‘Only need one ya say? But am sellin two fer a fiver. Why ‘av one when ya can ‘av two? See ‘ere, pink fer the day an blue fer the night. Or ‘ow about a lovely red one fer chrimbo? Make those baby blues look even bigger.’

Dear J.E.
Love the dialect and the last line made me laugh out loud. He just isn’t prepared to sell one at a time. 😉 Cute.
