Real conversation, not exaggerated. Actually slightly toned down:
"We offer a competitive salary! It's $number!"
"I have 2 offers 10% higher, from a shipping company and a finance company, in the same city"
"We don't compete with the finance and shipping sectors"
"And 15% higher in one of the consultancies"
"We don't compete with consultancies either"
(I think I'm going to put Reigninh Monarch of Norway on my CV. I just don't compete with King Harald.)
LOL I hope you told them "Dude you ARE competing with those companies for my skills, so are you in or not?" It's really that simple.
At one interview I wasn't really sure about my answer to a question, so after giving it I asked how they would do it, and the guy who asked said, "Well, I'm not the one being interviewed." I kept my mouth shut because I really liked everybody else I had talked to, but I wanted to go all Jules on the guy like, "Oh yes you are, Brett, yes you are!" Some employers don't get that an applicant is also interviewing them (at least I always was).
