Conversation Lesson 10

Monica - Excuse me, Mr. Jones. Do you have a minute?

Mr. Jones - Actually, I’m swamped right now, can this wait?

Monica - Well, it will only take a second.

Mr. Jones - What is it? Make it snappy, it better be good.

Monica - Ok, well my grandmother just got rushed to the hospital, she’s really sick.

Mr. Jones - And?

Monica - I was wondering if I could take the afternoon off. I wanna go check on her.

Mr. Jones - No! Stop wasting time and get back to work. You know this is our crazy time
of the year.

Monica - I’ll make up my work this weekend.

Mr. Jones - No means no! Now get back to work!

Monica - Are you kidding me?

Mr. Jones - I don’t care about granny. I care about the bottom line.

Monica - You know what? You are such a jerk!

Mr. Jones - That’s why I get paid the big bucks.

Monica - You’re pathetic!

Mr. Jones - Looks like someone wants a pink slip.

Monica - Screw you I quit!
