Lesson 11 Key Conversation Bailing Early

Ken: Hey, can I get one more round of drinks over here, please?

Derek: No, no-I'm slowing down, Ken. It's already midnight.

Ken: Come on, you aren't wussing out on me, are you?

Derek: Nope. Just have to crawl out of bed by 6:00 tomorrow for that meeting.

Ken: I'll let you off this time, but you owe me next time, OK?

Derek: You're on. Sorry to have to bail so early, but don't leave on my account!

Ken: I won't! Well, it looks like Josh has had enough, too. I guess it's time to call it a night.

Derek: I'll see you guys at the office after lunch.

Ken: Yeah, go sleep it off. Don't want to get blamed for your lousy presentation tomorrow.

Derek: Ha ha. Thanks for the support!
