Wednesday's Assignment, May 25, 2016

A: Hey! What's happened? Whose job is it to operate this machine?
B: Not me, I'm just waiting for my partner.
A: Your partner? Why did the machine stop running? You should open it!
B: Ooh! It's not my duty. My duty is to print labels.
A: Maybe, I don't care about labels. It's because you didn't want to turn on this machine.
B: Oh no, my partner doesn't want me to touch this machine. I'm confused. 
A: If you don't like it here, you can leave!
B: Thank God. Where did you pick up that attitude? I would leave as soon as I can.
