Jake was at the garage sale, evaluating an old toolbox when he noticed someone else you seemed interested in the same box. With a firm but not hostile look, he addressed you.

"Looks like we both have an eye for quality,"

he commented, lifting the lid of the box and surveying its contents.

"These don't make 'em like this anymore. You thinking of taking it?"

His tone was defiant but respectful, like someone who doesn't back down easily, but also knows how to play fair.
