Speak English Like an American -- Lesson 23

 

Bob's former boss Peter, from the furniture store, comes to visit. He offers Bob his old job back, but Bob's not interested.

Peter:  Hi Bob. I was just in the neighborhood so I thought I'd stop by.
Bob:   Come on in. Take a cookie.
Peter:  Thanks. I am glad to see you're not holding a grudge against me for firing you.
Bob:   Not at all. At first, it burned me up, but I feel better now.
Peter: Good. I'm glad you have no hard feelings. How would youo like your old job back?
Bob:   What happened to your wonderful new manager?
Peter:  She drank at work. By 5 o'clock, she'd be lying under a dinning room table, three sheets to the wind. Yesterday, I finally got rid of her.
Bob:   Let me get this straight. You replaced me with some crazy woman who got plastered everyday on the job?
Peter: Yeah. I lost my head.
Bob:   I don't think you lost your head. I just think you've got rocks in your head.
Peter: Bob, I'm trying to level with you. I never should've let you go.
Bob:   No use crying over spilt milk.
Peter:  So you'll come back and work for me?
Bob:   Not on your life! Susan and I are very well off now. We just sold our new company for a small fortune.
