（The alarm clock rings。）
Catherine： Honey； it's seven o'clock。 Time to get up。
James： Okay； just a few more minutes。
Catherine： No。 You told me to make sure you were up by seven。
James： I know but I can sleep till seven…thirty if I don't take a shower。
Catherine： James； you know that's impossible。 You have a meeting with your boss andlater with an important client。
James： Christ； I almost forgot。 That's what happens when I don't get enough sleep。
Catherine： Enough sleep？ You went to bed at ten。 That's nine hours。
James： Do you have to be right all the time？ But you are right； I'm getting up。
Catherine： Jump in the shower； that will make you feel better。 And I'll make a pot of
strong coffee； but what do you want for breakfast？
James： Something simple。 How about a bagel and cream cheese。
Catherine： No problem。 It'll be ready before you are。
James： Don't be so sure。

James： Only if you want to。 I don't mind cooking once a day； especially when the weatheris nice / and I can barbecue。
Catherine： Okay； but let's get back to breakfast； can I get you anything else？
James： A little more coffee would ＇will＇ be great； with a little more sugar in it this time；please。
Catherine： Sure。 Do you want another bagel or some fruit？
James： No； thanks。 I'm just not that hungry in the morning。 You know that。
Catherine： I know； but I was reading in a magazine that breakfast is the most importantmeal of the day。
James： I've heard that too； but I just can't force myself to eat when I'm not hungry。
Catherine： Why don't I pack you a snack for later in the morning？ You could eat it aroundten when you get hungry。
James： That's a great idea。 I always regret not eating breakfast right at ten o'clock。
Catherine： What shall I make？
James： How about a beer？
Catherine： James； be serious。
James： Okay； how about an apple and some cheese？
Catherine： That's better。 Just give me a minute to get it packed。

Steve： Good morning； James。 You're early。 What's up？
James： Morning； Steve。 Early is right。 I've got two important meetings today； one with theboss and one with a client。 You're pretty early yourself； something important？
Steve： Yeah； I'm meeting a client； too。 Someone from a big puter pany。 I thinktheir headquarters are in Taiwan； but this guy runs the New York office。
James： Wang puters。 That's my client； too。 But I think the owner is aChinese…American； I'm not sure if they even have an office in TaiWan。 I guess we'reworking on this account together。
Steve： Good。 To tell you the truth / I was a little scared。 The account is really big； it's justtoo much work for one man。 Say； what time do you meet with the boss； Mr。 Barnes？
James： Ten…thirty； Why？
Steve： I was right。 We are on this account together。 I'm scheduled to meet with Mr。 Barnesat ten…thirty； too。
James： Well then； partner； let's get busy preparing something for the meeting。
Steve： Good idea。 Where should we begin？
James： I don't know about you / but I always begin big projects by going to the bathroom；and then with a hot cup of coffee。 Can you wait for me？
Steve： Just hurry。 I'll get the coffee ready。
James： That sounds like an excellent plan。
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Situation 6 Planning for the Meeting
James： I'm back。
Steve： Here is your coffee。 You feeling better？
James： I feel like a Champ。 Where should we begin？
Steve： As always； it's best to begin at the beginning。 What have you prepared for yourmeeting with Wang？
James： Basically； I just have an outline of a presentation of our pany's new software。 Ithink our product is high quality and that the people from Wang will realize that once theyhear a description of it。
Steve： Well James； that is a little too simple。 We know the product is good； but we have to
convince them of that too。 Luckily； I put together a vedio presentation on my notebookputer using our software。 If they like the presentation； and I am confident they will；then that automatically means that they like our pany's product。
James： Steve； that's why you are at the top of sales。 You think of everything in advance。I'm really just a puter software engineer； I can make this stuff but I can't sell it。
Steve： Of course you can't。 That's why Mr。 Barnes put us together。 I'll take care of sellingthe software； and you can answer any tough technical question that the people from Wangmight ask。 I'm as bad at science as you are at sales。
James： Steve； you're too modest。 You're great at sales； but I know you know somethingabout puters too。 I still remember when we first started working here； you taught mea thing or two about Apple Macintosh puters。
Steve： Sure I know about Macs； but that's just because I used one all through college。 Plus；any dummy can use a Mac。
James： I couldn't。
Steve： Not at first
