| Mr. Klein |
This price leaves us with a very small margin. |
| Ms. Johnson |
It's the best price that I can offer. |
| Mr. Klein |
What about another two per cent. It's not much to ask. |
| Ms. Johnson |
No, as I said, that's our best price. |
| Mr. Klein |
You drive a hard bargain. |
| Ms. Johnson |
Not hard, just fair. |
|
| Explanation : |
| |
|
If people drive a hard bargain,
they argue with determination in order to achieve a deal which is
favorable to themselves. |
|
|
|
Example : Ukraine was
always gong to drive a hard bargain
before signing the treaty. |
