Rick and Ellen work for Attic Treasures Antiques, an antique shop. Max is the owner of the shop. Recently, a woman came in and sold them $10,000 worth of "antique" jewelry. Max takes one look at the jewelry and realizes it's fake.
Max: I can't believe you two bought these fake antique necklaces! Didn't you examine them before shelling out 10 grand?
Rick: Yeah, I thought they were fake, but I let Ellen talk me into buying them.
Ellen: What? I can't believe my ears! You thought they were real. Now you're just trying to cover yourself!
Rick: I don't want to be the fall guy here, Ellen. You were the one who looked at them under a magnifying glass.
Ellen: For the record, you were the one going on about how you "struck gold" right after the woman left the shop!
Rick: I don't remember saying that. Stop trying to pass the buck. Just step up to the plate and admit your mistake!
Ellen: Right, while you wash your hands of the whole thing. Dream on!
Max: Let's stop pointing fingers at each other. We need to track down that woman and get the money back!
