lesson 23 bob has a surprise visitor

bob's former boss peter, from the furniture store, comes to visit. he offers bob his old job back, but bob's not interested.

peter: hi bob. i was just in the neighborhood so i thought i'd stop by.

bob: come on in. take a cookie.

peter: thanks. i'm glad to see you're not holding a grudge against me for firing you.

bob: not at all. at first, it burned me up. but i feel better now.

peter: good. i'm glad you have no hard feelings. how would you like your old job back?

bob: what happened to your wonderful new manager?

peter: she drank at work. by five o'clock, she'd be lying under a dining room table, three sheets to the wind. yesterday, i finally got rid of her.

bob: let me get this straight. you replaced me with some crazy woman who got plastered every day on the job?

peter: yeah, i lost my head.

bob: i don't think you lost your head. i just think you've got rocks in your head!

peter: bob, i'm trying to level with you. i never should've let you go.

bob: no use crying over spilt milk.

peter: so you'll come back and work for me?

bob: not on your life! susan and i are very well off now. we just sold our new company for a small fortune!
