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...
