Hello Alex, how was your weekend? Mine was really tiring but it was awesome.

Hey Rick, my weekend was great. I went to a festival with my family.

Oh, that's great! I hope you had a great time together, I mean with your family.

Yes, we went to the festival. We ate delicious food. Everything was perfect. We had a great time.

And where did you go? Because you told me last time you didn't have money.

Well, yeah, I had some money problems, but it's okay. We could go to the movies.

To the movies? But how could you go to the movies if you don't have money?

Man, don't tell anybody, but Brenda lent me some money on Friday. That's why I don't want people to know that because, you know, there are many gossipers in this company.

Tell me about it. I perfectly know that. Don't worry. Hey, it's late.

Yeah, you're right. I have to start my work. I have to deliver some reports today. I didn't do it on Friday because I had to go home early. Happily, the boss hasn't arrived yet, so I will finish with the reports and then I'll put them in the boss's office. See you later.

Yeah, sure. I also have to work. I guess I'll see you at lunchtime.

Good morning, Alex. Have you seen Rick? I have been looking for him since the morning.

Hey, morning Brian. Rick? Yeah, yeah, he was here 2 minutes ago. Why?

I need him to do me a favor. I was going to tell him that on Friday, but I couldn't find him.

Oh, is it about money? Because he probably won't lend you any money, Brian.

No, it's not about money. It's about some reports. I need help. I don't understand the reports.

Oh, even worse. I don't think he can help you with that.

What? Why do you say that? He promised he would help me with those reports. I don't want him to do them for me. I just need to ask him something. There is one part I don't understand and he is the only person who can help me. That's it.

Well, maybe he's in the same area of work as you, but I don't think he can help you. I can't tell you much, but he's not very responsible with the reports he has to deliver. He never delivers them on time. He's always leaving early for any problem he has all the time. The boss hasn't noticed yet, but he will notice someday. I am sure he's not responsible.

Well, I know he has a family. Maybe he had a problem and that's why he had to leave early.

Problem? No, he went to the beach or to the movies. He always goes out with his family.

Really? Well, that's good. I mean, it is great he can go out with his family, don't you think?

No, it's not okay. He's always leaving work early. He never meets his work schedule. I'm telling you, he's not a responsible person. If I were you, I wouldn't ask him for help.

Um, well, if you say so. But I think it's great he goes out with his family.

But he doesn't have money to do that. He is broke. Doesn't have money but he decides to go out to the movies anyway.

Well, maybe he has enough money to take his family to the movies. I think that's fine.

No, you don't understand. He doesn't have any money, nothing. He had to ask Brenda to lend him some money. Can you believe that?
