1 MR.BIGELOW:This is just what I needed.

SIMON:It is a lovely park,isn't it>

MR.BIGELOW:So tell me,Simon,how did you wind up here a restaurant manager in Boston?

SIMON:Ah!Well,that's a bit of a puzzle to me,as well.

2 MR.BIGELOW:Was your training in restaurants?

SIMON:Oh no!After primary and secondary schools I went to university.

Manchester.Modern languages.

3 MR.BIGELOW:That's a lot of tests.

SIMON:Oh yes,I passed all kinds of exams.

MR.BIGELOW:I was never any good at taking tests.

I barely got through elementary school.

4 MR.BIGELOW:High school was worse.And it was years before I went to college.

And I didn't do very well there either,I'm afraid.

SIMON:Oh,I did well,but there was something missing.

5 SIMON:At the end of the day,I wanted experience that was...

MR.BIGELOW:Hands-on. SIMON:Exactly.

MR.BIGELOW:Find out the way it works in the real world. SIMON:Yes.

6 MR.BIGELOW:So you got a job!

SIMON:NO.I went back to business school for management studies.

MR.BIGELOW:More tests!

1 WENDY:He was talking to Anne.At first I thought he was so mean.

A real snob,you know?

2 SIMON:He'os not,though.He said he barely got through school.

He told me he did really badly at university.

3 WENDY:Well,he learned to run a company somewhere.

He makes a ton of money.

SIMON:That's the thing.He said he was bad at maths.

4 WENDY:At what?

SIMON:Maths.

WENDY:You mean math?

SIMON:We say maths.

WENDY:You must mean all the different maths.

Because I mean the one basic math. SIMON:Whatever.

5 SIMON:But Wendy,listen to this.He told me making money is easy.

He said,"If I buy someting for one dollar,and sell it for two,

I make money from that one per cent difference."

6 WENDY:One per cent?You mean a hundred per cent.

SIMON:Right.The man can't figure a percentage to save his life.

WENDY:Tell me about it.You should see the tip he left me!

1 SHARON:George,would you mind taking care of this for me?

You did such a good job last time.

GEORGE:Sure.I'll do it as soon as I can.

SHARON:Thanks ever so much.See you later. GEORGE:Bye.

2 NINA:George? GEORGE:Yeah?

NINA:What was that all about?

GEORGE:Oh!Sharon just wants me to arrange some fransportation for a guest.

3 NINA:Ah,that's not your job.

GEORGE:She just wants me to help her occasionally.

NINA:She wants you to help her occasionally?

GEORGE:Well... NINA:George,I don't think so.I need you 100%in this office.

GEORGE:Right.

4 NINA:Next time,would you please tell her that you have your own work to do?

GEORGE:I'd better do that now.

But it won't be easy coming up against her southern charm.

NINA:George,why don't you just use that no9rthern charm of yours?
