A: ...like I told you before, we just don’t have the re-
sources to hire you an assistant.
B: I understand that, but the fact is we’re under-
staffed.
A: The timing 1 is just not right. The economy is bad,
and it’s too risky 2 to take on new staff.
B: Yeah, I guess you’re right.... here’s an idea, what
if we hire an intern 3? 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 assis-
tant.
B: OK, great! Let’s meet her!
C: Hi, I’m Adam.
B: Oh... hi... I’m Tony...
