    Despite the fact that it seems jerry can easily take a bow of the discussion with Lucy and forge ahead in selling the car to Roberta, he had certain restrictions that he should respect. Accepting $100 from Lucy, Jerry entered into what we know as an "Option" contract, giving an option to Lucy to buy the car in the next two weeks.

    Irrespective of Lucy's financial status, jerry should respect the contract that he has entered into. As a back-up, he can hold discussions with Roberta and can request her to wait for 2 weeks when the option period expires and he can sell the car to her at an outright payment
