　　The next morning
　　Rita :I'm going to need you two to give a little more effort in the office.
　　Troy: You're not satisfied with our work?
　　Rita: Well, you haven't been doing a lot of phone sales lately, Troy.
　　Troy: That's because I've been putting everything into getting that report together for the meeting next week.
　　Rita: Yes, well. It shows. On that note, I'm instituting a new policy.
　　Troy: [Under his breath] I'm sure this will be interesting.
　　Rita: Anyone who doesn't meet their weekly sales targets will have their pay docked.

　　隔天早上
　　莉塔：我要你们两个上班时多努力一点。
　　特洛伊：你不满意我们的工作？
　　莉塔：这个嘛，你最近电话营销做得不够多，特洛伊。

　　莉塔：是啊，这样子，看得出来。说到那个，我正在制定一个新的制度。
　　特洛伊：（低声）我敢保证这绝对很有趣。
　　莉塔：只要有人没达到他的周业绩目标，就会被扣薪。
