| Bob's new advertising campaign hasn't helped. |

| Peter decides to fire him. |

| Bob, I hate to break the news, but our sales were down again last month. |

|
| Down again, Peter? |
play_circle
pause_circle
|
| Yeah. These days, everybody's shopping at our competition, Honest Abe's Furniture Store. |

|
| But everything in there costs an arm and a leg! |
play_circle
pause_circle
|
| That's true. They do charge top dollar. |
play_circle

|
| And their salespeople are very strange. They really give me the creeps! |
play_circle
pause_circle
|
| Well, they must be doing something right over there. Meanwhile, we're about to go belly up. |
play_circle

|
| I'm sorry to hear that. I thought my new advertising campaign would save the day. |
play_circle
pause_circle
|
| Let's face it: your advertising campaign was a real flop. |
play_circle
pause_circle
|
| Well then I'll go back to the drawing board. |
play_circle
pause_circle
|
| It's too late for that. You're fired! |
play_circle
pause_circle
|
| What? You're giving me the ax? |
play_circle
pause_circle
|
| Yes. I've already found a new manager. She's as sharp as a tack. |
play_circle
pause_circle
|
| Can't we even talk this over? After all, I've been working here for 10 years! |
play_circle
pause_circle
|
| There's no point in arguing, Bob. I've already made up my mind. |
play_circle
pause_circle
|
| Oh well, at least I won't have to put up with your nonsense anymore! Good bye to you and good bye to this dead end job. |
play_circle
pause_circle
|
| Please leave before I lose my temper! |
