After she agrees on buying the dress she says that she has lost her ring which her boyfriend custom made for her. She tells the sales man but because she has many appointments to attend, the sales assistant decides to tell her that he will call her once he finds it. She agrees and offers £5000 to whoever does find it. Soon, a man (her partner in crime) enters the shop and pretends to find the ring.

During this scene the music speeds up and there are a lot of tracking shots which follow the frantic actions of both characters. She states how special it is as it was a custom made ring from her boyfriend;
