...like I told you before, we just don’t have the re- sources to hire you an assistant.
I understand that, but the fact is we’re under- staffed.
The timing is just not right. The economy is bad, and it’s too risky to take on new staff.

She?
Yeah, you know, a recent graduate. She could give me a hand with some of these projects and we could keep our costs down.
That sounds reasonable... let me see what I can do.
Tony, I’d like to introduce you to your new assis- tant.
OK, great! Let’s meet her! C: Hi, I’m Adam.
Oh... hi... I’m Tony...
