M: Have you finished that copy for the catalogue?
W: Finished it? I haven’t started it yet!
M: But it’s urgent! The client needs it this afternoon. We’ll have a meeting.
W: Well, I wish you’d told me before. If I’d known you wanted today, I’d have done it yester- day.
M: Can you finish it in time for the meeting this afternoon at two thirty?
W: Two thirty? But it’s twelve o’clock now. Why didn’t you say something when I came in? I could have started working on it then.
M: Oh yes ! Ten minutes ago !
W: That’s not fair. I was here by ten this morning.
M: The point is -- can you finish in time?
W: My mind’s blank. I wish I hadn’t been to that party last night!
M: If you don’t produce something, you’ll have plenty of time to go to parties! I’ll see you in my office at two fifteen with the catalogue finished.
W: All right. I’ll start it right away.
M: Mind you, the catalogue has to be eye-catching so that everybody will take notice of our products.
W: Will there be any bonuses?
M: You bet.
