                  Nathan Garcia of Smith Medical Supplies, comes to work late.

 

                  He meets his boss, Helen McClure, as he comes in.

 

SFX:  office noises

 

Nathan:      Helen, I’m really sorry that I’m so late.

 

                  My train broke down in Oakland. 

 

Helen:      That’s OK.  It’s not a problem.

 

Nathan:      We were stuck in a tunnel for forty-five minutes!

 

Helen:       Oh, that’s terrible!

 

Nathan:      Umm…. I apologize for not calling.

 

                  But my cell phone didn’t work in the tunnel.

 

Helen:      Nathan, it’s perfectly all right. 

 

                  You’re hardly ever late.

 

                  Harry is with Ms. Daniels explaining your proposal.

 

                  You can take over as soon as you are ready.

 

Nathan:      It’ll just take me a couple of minutes.

 

Helen:      Well, don’t hurry. 

 

                  Everything is under control.
