What About Discounts?

Early 80s Peanuts:


"No Miss, I don't know the answer."

"Will you give me a hint?"

"You don't give hints?"

"What about discounts?"
Notes: 
This is a good example of how Spanish uses the simple present to express both the future and to ask for a favor: Me da una pista could of course mean You give me a hint, but with rising intonation, becomes a request for a hint.
