Maddalena's phone call
Maddalena chose 'to pay through the nose' as her favourite English expression. It means to pay too high a price for something.
Example:
"You don't have to pay through the nose for the latest catwalk fashions, just wait a few weeks then you can find cheap copies on the High Street."
