PETS－2每日对话练习333

Gary: You see, Mike? If you want this play to work, let me take over.
　　Mike: It's either me as director, or no play.
　　Gary: You're on some kind of weird power trip, man.
　　Mike: Those are your choices. 1 Take it or leave it.
　　Gary: All right. You leave me no choice. I'm off the play.
　　Mike: Good. Now I can get things done.
　　Gary: I doubt it. I'm the only one that knows how to direct. Without me, everybody will quit. I'm out of here.
