He said to stop by the store at 4:00 today and he’ll interview you for the job. Judy: Okay, I think I can make it around 4:00. Harry: Not around 4:00. You need to be there at 4:00 sharp, got that? I’m sticking my neck out for you by recommending you for this job, so don’t let me down. Judy: All right, I’ll be there. It’s not like it’s my idea to get a job at your store. I didn’t ask you to put your reputation on the line. I don’t think that job is a good fit for me. Harry: You can’t afford to be choosy. You need a job and you need it right now. Judy: I’m not in a hurry. I want to find a job that really suits my talents. Harry: I’m sick of you sleeping on my couch and mooching off me. By the time you find a job that suits your talents, I’ll be in a nursing home – or an insane asylum! Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
