Worker: Jules. Hi.

Jules: How are you?

Ben: Hey. How’s it going? Mike right?

Mike: Yeah.

Ben: Yeah, I’m Ben. I work for Jules.

Mike: She’ll be down in a minute.

Ben: I know. Look, I don’t want to make you feel uncomfortable, but I just happen to have looked out the window, and it appeared you were drinking something from a paper bag.

Mike: I don’t know what you’re talking about, man.

Ben: Why don’t you tell her you can’t drive her today, or I’m going to have to.

Jules: We all good?

Mike: Yeah.

Mike: Jules, I’m sorry to do this, but I’m actually not feeling so hot. I’m not sure I should be driving. I wouldn’t want to give you anything.

Jules: Oh, sure. Yeah, no, you should take the day off and feel better, okay?

Mike: Thanks.

Ben: I’m happy to cover for Mike.

Jules: That’s okay. Becky can drive me.
