Cost an Arm and a Leg
Speak as Stephen
Speak as Pete
Pete: I just got it last week. I've always wanted to buy a tailor-made suit like this. And since I got the promotion, I finally had some extra money to buy one.
Stephen: Well, it looks great on you. Do you mind if I ask you how much you paid for it?
Pete: It cost me an arm and a leg.
Stephen: Was it over a thousand?
Pete: Yes, it was a little higher than a thousand.
Stephen: That's pretty expensive for a suit. It really did cost you an arm and a leg.
