Situation 13:
In the Parking Lot
James,wait.I really want to say I'm
sorry for my behavior before.
Don't mention it.
No,really.I did a rotten thing back
there and I just wanted to apologize.
Forget about it.You were under a lot
of pressure over the last few weeks.
I know how important this project was to you.
Yeah,but it was important to you too,and I shouldn't have
turned on you like that.
Well,you may have a chance to make it up to me.
How?
If I become vice president I'll need my
own good men to work for me.
Would you do that for me?
Of course I would.I've seen you work,and you are very
talented.Even today you were much better prepared
than I was,I just got lucky.
It wasn't all luck.You have so much
more technical knowledge than I do,and you're not afraid
to tell the truth.
Exactly,and that's why,like today,
we make a good team.I'd hate to lose you
and 1 know the company would too.
I'm not so sure about that after
hearing Mr.Barnes today.
That's nonsense.He's just trying to
scare you.And besides,if he's so
happy with my performance,he'll have
to listenwhen I tell him you're
one of the best men at his company.
I hope you're right.
You know I'm right.Would you like
something to drink?
Not only would I like it,I need it.
