Father Vitalis then talks, in German, about how the liqueur is made and where it used to be sold. The narrator then asks how much a bottle of liqueur costs. The costs of a small, medium and large bottle are given. This new vocabulary is then put into practice in a gift shop where a man goes to buy some of the liqueur.
