[Elementary] The Office – Virus!

A: Oh great! This stupid computer froze again! That’s the third time today! Hey Samuel, can you come take a look at my PC? It’s acting up again. It must have a virus or something.

B: Just give me a second; I’ll be right up.

B: I ran a virus scan on your computer, and it turns out that you have a lot of infected files!

A: But I’m quite careful when I’m browsing the internet, I have no idea how I could have picked up a virus.

B: Well, you have to make sure that your anti-virus software is updated regularly; yours wasn’t up to date, that’s probably what was causing your problems.

A: Ok. Anything else?

B: Yeah, try not to kick or hit the computer!

A: Um yeah& Sorry about that.

[Elementary] The Weekend – Road Trip

A: So, are we all ready to go?

B: Yup, I think so. The car’s packed; we have munchies and music, and the map’s in the car.

A: Did you get the camera?

B: Got it! Did you fill up the tank?

A: Yup, it’s all set.

B: You’re sure we’re not forgetting anything?

A: I’m sure… we’ve got all our bases covered.

B: Well& let’s get going then! I love road trips!

B: Um… do you think we can make a pit stop?

A: But we’ve only been on the road for ten minutes.

B: I know, but I forgot to go to the bathroom before we left.

[Elementary] Daily Life – Cut In Line

A: I can’t believe it took us two hours to get here. The traffic in New York is unbelievable.

B: Yeah, but just relax honey, we’re here and we’re going on vacation. In a few hours we’ll be in Hawaii, and you’ll be on the golf course.

A: Oh no! Look at that line! It must be a mile long! There’s no way I’m waiting for another two hours.

B: Honey… don’t…

C: Hey man, the end of the line is over there.

A: Yeah…

C: No seriously, I was here first, and you can’t cut in line like this.

A: Says who?

C: I do!

A: So sue me!

C: Alright…that’s it….

[Elementary] The Office – I need an assistant!

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 timing is just not right. The economy is bad, and it’s too risky to take on new staff.

B: Yeah, I guess you’re right…. here’s an idea, what if we hire an intern? 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…
