Bob brings Carol the cookies. He tells Carol that baking the cookies was easy because he had lots of help.
Carol: Bob, how did the baking go?
Bob: Slow at first, but we are getting the hang of it.
Carol: Once you learn the ropes, it becomes second nature.
Bob: To tell you the truth, I thought that baking 2,000 cookies
would be a pain in the neck. But we managed to round up
some helpers, and it was a piece of cake.
Carol: Well, thanks for coming in person with the cookies.
Bob: No problem. When will you need more?
Carol: It depends on how many we sell today.
Bob: How many do you think you'll sell?
Carol: Maybe 500, maybe 2,000. Your guess is as good as mine.
In any case, I'll keep you posted.
Bob: Okay, just give me a ring as soon as you know.
