You Like Apartment? You Must Buy Now!

BROKER: Just come upstairs this is a very nice place, I have seen it just myself. I will only show to you good places because I know you foreigners only like things spic and span. I can tell that I know what you like.

ME: This is a great location, but it looks like the place is a bit run down. How often do they scrape off that moss?

BROKER: No moss. It is a nice place.

(Padma, the Broker and I walk upstairs)

PADMA: Wow, this place is huge, and look at the kitchen!

SCOTT: It's definitely better than where we are now. And look, it has three bedrooms. I guess that would mean we have to get more furniture. The only thing is, the walls are pink. We would need to repaint.

BROKER: Yes you like? You buy now. Fourteen thousand rupees. Ten month deposit.

SCOTT: Didn't you say it was only twelve thousand with a six month deposit?

BROKER: Don't listen to what I say on the phone. If you like you rent right now. It is best or us.

PADMA: But we will need to repaint.

BROKER: That will cost you extra. How much more will you pay for paint?

PADMA: What are you talking about? The walls are pink! We will do it ourselves.

BROKER: That is ok, do it yourself, but we increase the rent. Can you put down deposit right now?

SCOTT: AARRGGGAAAGG!AGRAGARG!

BROKER: Why does your husband look so red in the face?

PADMA: I don't think he likes you.
