45. Coffee break 喝咖啡的休息时间 A: If that man gives me any more letters to type I'll scream. He's given me ten already today, and there'll be more when I get back from coffee. I'll be here till midnight. B: Simmer down, Franny. He can't make you stay after five. C: Sure, francs. Finish what you can, and leave the rest for Minday. A: But they're important letters, Joe. They should go out tonight. C: That's not your worry. If they're that urgent, he should've given them to you earlier. B: Joe's right, Fran. You won't catch him staying in the office after five on a Friday. He's got better things to do.
