Transcript

Things, sure. Let me get these two things for you. How are you doing today? I'm good. You have any plans for the weekend? I think I'll just invite some friends over for dinner. Nothing too crazy. Sounds like so much fun. By the way, I love your outfit. You look amazing. Would you like a bag for these? Thanks, that's so kind. And yes, one bag would be great. I'll put them in the bag for you as well. Here you go. I hope you have a great day. Hola, qué tal? Bolsa? Si me puedes poner una bolsa porfa.
