I need an assistant! (C00

A:

...like

I

told

you

before,

we

just

don’t

have

the

resources to hire you an assistant.

B:

I understand that, but the fact is we’re understaffed.

A:

The timing is just not right. The economy is bad,

and it’s

too risky to take on new staff.

B:

Yeah, I guess you’re right.... here’s an idea, what

if we hire an intern? She would take some of the weight

off my shoulders.

A:

She?

B:

Yeah, you know, a recent graduate. She could give me

a hand with some of these projects and we could keep our

costs down.

A:

That sounds reasonable... let me see what I can do.

A:

Tony, I’d like to introduce you to your new assistant.

B:

OK, great! Let’s meet her!

C:

Hi, I’m Adam.

B:

Oh... hi... I’m Tony...

on vacation. In a few hours we’ll be in Hawaii, and you’ll

be on the golf course.

Oh no!Look at that line! It must be a mile long!

There’s no way I’m waiting for another two hours.

B:

Honey... don’t...

C:

Hey man, the end of the line is over there.

Yeah...

C:

No seriously, I was here first, and you can’t cut in

up a virus.

Driving Sales (C0010)

A:

All

right,

people.

We’re

holding

this

meeting

today

because

we’ve

got

to

do

something

about

our

sales,

and

we need to do it NOW! I want concrete solutions. How do

you intend to drive sales... Roger?

B:

Well, in fact, we’re the most expensive in the market,

so

maybe

we

need

to

lower

our

prices

to

match

the

competitors?

A:

Lower

our

prices?

Not

very

creative.

It

’ll

never

fly

with Swan. What kind of thinking is that? Geez. Anybody

else have a better plan? Natalie?

C:

Um,

perhaps,

um,

a

sales

promotion.

Maybe

a

two-for- one offer, or something like that!

A:

What? That’s the same thing. Bad idea. Really bad idea.

Dammit

people

come

on!

Think!

The

CEO

will

be

here

any minute.

D:

Do we have any ideas yet?

C:

Yes Mr. Swan, we were kind of considering a twofor-

one offer to get more competitive.

D:

A two-for-one promotion? Hmm. I kind of like the

sound of that. It sounds like something we should

consider.

A:

Yeah, exactly. Just what I was thinking! In fact,

that’s a brilliant idea! I’m glad we thought of that.

Very creative.

New Guy in Town (C0011

A:

Oh, I don’t know if you heard, bu

t someone moved

into that old house down the road.

B:

Yeah, I know. I met the owner of the house yesterday

as he was moving in. His name is Armand.

A:

Really? What’s he like? You have to fill me in.

B:

Actually, he’s a bit strange. I don’t know... I’v

e got

a bad feeling about him.

A:

Really? Why?

B:

Well, yesterday I brought over a housewarming gift,but

Armand started acting really weird, and then he practically

kicked me out! I tried to, sort of, peek into his house, but

everything was so dark insi

de that I couldn’t really get a

good look.

A:

Well, you’ll never guess what I saw this morning.

A delivery truck pulled into his driveway, and it dropped

off a long, rectangular box. It almost looked like a coffin!

B:

You see! Why would he...

C:

Hello ladies...

B:

Ah, Armand! You scared the heck out of me! This

is my friend Doris.

C:

A pleasure to meet you...If you are not doing anything

tonight, I would like to have you both for dinner.I mean...I

would like to have you both over for dinner.
