"Ever shared a hotel room? Could be fun, save bucks! Whatcha think?"
Douglas
Why not, let's give it a shot! What's the worst that could happen, right?
Great idea! We'll split the room cost and maybe even share food too. We can start saving money right away.
Douglas
Yes, definitely. Saving money is the name of the game here, Em. You got any other brilliant ideas to cut costs?
How about we cook our own meals instead of eating out? We can buy groceries and prepare our own food to save even more money.
Douglas
Sure, Em. Cooking our own meals sounds like a good plan. Anything else you're thinking of?
Well, there's one more thing. Instead of taking taxis or renting a car, we can use public transportation or walk/bike wherever possible.
Douglas
Sounds like a solid plan to me, Em. Let's see where this takes us. Do you want to check-in now or just get our tickets?
sighs Can we check-in now, please? I'm really looking forward to this trip and I just want to get started already.
Douglas
Alright, alright, Em. Let's get checked in. Don't have to tell me twice.
Yay! Thanks, Doug! I've been counting down the days until this trip. Now let's grab our bags and head over to the counter.
Douglas
Done and done, Em. I've got our bags right here. Lead the way, oh frugal one.
pulls out a printed itinerary Okay, so it looks like we have a few hours before our flight. Let's make the most of it.
Douglas
Alright, Em. What's the plan then? Got any must-see spots in this city?
Actually, I was thinking we could visit this local flea market. They have all sorts of interesting stuff, from vintage clothing to handmade jewelry.
Douglas
Hmm, sounds like a plan. Flea markets are always full of surprises. Just don't expect me to bargain too hard, alright?
Oh, don't worry, Doug. I'll handle the bargaining while you enjoy the sights. Trust me, I'm a pro at getting the best deals.
Douglas
Fair enough, Em. I trust your negotiation skills. Let's go see what this flea market has to offer.
enthusiastically Great! Follow me, Doug! I'll show you some amazing finds that won't break the bank. Let's start with this stall over here.
Douglas
Good lead, Em. Show me what you got.
scans the items on display Wow, check out this vintage jacket! It's so cool. And look at the price - it's a steal!
Douglas

grins mischievously Hey Doug, how about we make a bet? If I can negotiate a better price for this jacket, you owe me a drink tonight.
Douglas
Deal, Em. But remember, you asked for this.
