Alice: Good morning.
Saleswoman: Good morning.
Alice: Okay, I've got several things to do. I'm going to pick up some photos, so here are the tickets you gave me last time.
Saleswoman: All right, so…is it this one?
Alice: Yes, perfect. Oh, this one is really beautiful. Actually, I would like to make it larger.
Saleswoman: All right, go on, you can choose.
Alice: Okay, I think that it was the two first ones. Therefore, I'm going to make these two photos in a bigger size.
Saleswoman: All right.
Alice: What sizes do you have?
Saleswoman: Well, you can choose between three formats. You've got the 20/30, the 30/45 and the 50/75.
Alice: Er, I think the 20/30 centimeters will be fine.
Saleswoman: Yes, we'll make it shiny?
Alice: These are shiny?
Saleswoman: Yes.
Alice: so, yes, let's keep them shiny. And maybe, two copies.
Saleswoman: Twice then. Is it under the same name?
Alice: Yes, under the same name.
Saleswoman: Okay, so this is the ticket to use to pick them up.
Alice: All right. So, here, these were my pictures and there, the other rolls of film.
Saleswoman: Okay, so I get back the negatives. And so, you have to check the others. Do you want me to show them to you?
Alice: Yes, please. All right, fine, that's perfect.
Saleswoman: Is that yours?
Alice: Yes, It's mine.
Saleswoman: Okay, so, you have another roll for me?
Alice: Yes, I have another roll to develop.
Saleswoman: Okay, shall we do it the same size?
Alice: Oh, perhaps, in a smaller one.
Saleswoman: We've got 3 different formats. You have the 9/13 format, the 10/15 format; this one is the traditional. The last one is a smaller size and this one; this is what you have done.
Alice: This time, I'm going to take the medium size.
Saleswoman: The 10/15? All right, we'll make it in shiny too?
Alice: Uh, no, in matte.
Saleswoman: In matte…And for 6 francs (~1 Euro), you can have them in duplicate.
Alice: All right, a copy of each and I will add 6 francs. Are there any white edges on it?
Saleswoman: You can have that if you want, but not in matte, only shiny.
Alice: Anyway, I don't want that. So, in matte without any white edges.
Saleswoman: And with two copies?
Alice: With two copies for 6 extra francs .
Saleswoman: Is it under the same name?
Alice: Under the same name. When will it be ready?
Saleswoman: Today it is Tuesday, so it will be ready Thursday morning, after 10:30 a.m.
Alice: Thursday morning?
Saleswoman: Yes.
Alice: All right. Do you do one hour developing?
Saleswoman: No, just for the next day, as you have done.
Alice: All right. Anyway, that's good for me. So, I have to pay you for this one. Can I pay you in cash, is that all right?
Saleswoman: Yes, perfect. So 204, 55 francs, please.
Alice: So, 204 francs, here is 205.
Saleswoman: Yes, thank you. Here you go.
Alice: Thank you.
Saleswoman: Would you like a bag?
