The context of the following conversation is Riley wanted to get a raise, so he increased the quality of his work product.:
Riley says I wanted to increase the quality of my product, so I started hand carving my figurines..
The friend responds That is a good idea.  The old company that you went through didn't have much quality to their figurines..
Riley responds Yes, these hand-carved ones should be better to my customers..
The friend responds I think so too.  They sure do look a lot better..
