| 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... |
