triangle Script 대본 Roteiro Texto


Eduardo: The T-shirt designs are really nice, and we're definitely interested. Could we talk about the price now?

Maria: Yes, of course. So, how many T-shirts would you like to order?

Eduardo: For this first order, we’d like 1,000, please.

Maria: Well, for 1,000 T-shirts, the price is €2.50 per T-shirt.

Eduardo: That’s quite expensive for a new brand in our stores. Can you give us a lower price?

Maria: How about €2 per T-shirt?

Eduardo: I’m afraid I can’t agree to that because we’re an ethical company. We pay a fair price to our cotton suppliers, and our T-shirts are 100% organic cotton. So, the price is €2.50 on all orders below 2,000.

Eduardo: Okay, so 1,000 T-shirts—that’s €2,500 in total.

Maria: Yes, that’s right.

Eduardo: Okay, but could we pay 25% on signature and 75% on delivery?

Maria: I’m sorry, but for new clients, it’s 50% on signature and 50% on delivery.

Eduardo: I see. 50% on signature and 50% on delivery. Okay. When can you deliver the order?

Maria: It might be at the end of March.

Eduardo: The end of March? We’d really like the order sooner. Can you deliver them by the 17th of March?

Maria: Sorry, that’s not possible. How about the 25th of March?

Eduardo: The 25th of March, yes. Does delivery usually take four weeks?

Maria: No, it usually takes two weeks. The problem is we had so many orders for that T-shirt last week that we have to request more for manufacturing.

Eduardo: I really wanted them sooner... Okay, is there a discount?

Maria: How about 5%? That’s €125.

Eduardo: How about 10%—€250? What do you think?

Maria: Well, okay. I think that’s fair.

Maria: What sizes would you like?

Eduardo: We’d like 250 small T-shirts, 500 medium, and another 250 large—all in black.

Maria: Okay, that’s 250 small, 500 medium, and 250 large?

Eduardo: Yes, that’s right—all black.

Maria: Only black?

Eduardo: Only black.

Maria: That’s fine. I think we can do that.

Eduardo: Great. We’ll pay by bank transfer.

Maria: Thank you!
