The Haggle
From the Monty Python film "Life of Brian": Brian is in a hurry to buy a fake beard to disguise himself from the Roman guards, but gets into a ridiculous situation where the beard-seller, Harry The Haggler insists that he must ""haggle properly"" before he can buy.
Themes: Bargaining/Haggling, Changing the Game
Questions for students:

- Why won’t the seller give him the beard for 20?
- What type of negotiation does the seller want to ‘play’?
- Why does Brian not want to play that game?
- What are Brian's most important Interests?
- What are Brian's Alternatives?
