The Office - I need an assistant! (C0004)
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 timing1 is just not right. The economy is bad,and it’s too risky2 to take on new staff.
B: Yeah, I guess you’re right.... here’s an idea, what if we hire an intern3? 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...
