Clio:Ok. I've finished polishing all the glasses. We still need to polish a hundred sets of cutlery for tonight's banquet.
Helen:There's plenty of time. Let's get a coffee and take a break. Uh-oh, action stations! Here comes the manager.
Clio:Just as I was about to sit down. (To the manager) Evening.
Helen:Evening!
Clio:Phew, that was close. Well, I guess we'll have to have our coffee later.
Helen:How's your report for psychology class going?
Clio:Not well. I've been procrastinating too much. It'll have to be "action stations" when I get home from work tonight.
Helen:Can I help?
Clio:Not really. Just make sure I don't watch TV when I get home and keep the coffee coming! Now let's get this cutlery polished.
