Task 2: A Hard-nosed Boss

Script

Mr. Stone was known far and wide as a hard-nosed boss who (S1) watched his employees like a hawk 1. He was making one of his regular tours of the factory (S2) when he spotted 2 a young man leaning against a (S3) pile of boxes just outside the foreman’s office. Since George, the foreman, wasn’t around. Stone stood off to the side and watched to see just how ling the young men would stand (S4) around doing nothing.

The young man yawned, scratched his head, looked at his watch, and sat on the floor. After ten minutes or so he yawned again and (S5) leaned back on the pile of boxes.

Stone stepped from his (S6) hiding place and walked up to the young man. “You!” he yelled, “How much do you make a week?”

The young man looked up (S7) indifferently. “Two hundred and fifty dollars,” He said.

(S8) Stone rushed into the cashier’s office, took$250 from the cash box, and returned. “Take it,” he said, “and get out! Don’t let me see you around here again!”

The young man took the cash, put it in his pocket, and left. (S9) Seeing the young man showed no sign of embarrassment 3, Stone got furious. Then he went looking for George. When he found him, Stone was red with anger. “That lazy boy in front of your office,” Stone said, “I just gave him a week’s pay and fired him. What’s the matter with you, letting him stand around as though he has nothing to do?”

“You mean the kid in the red shirt?” George asked.

“Yes! The kid in the red shirt!”

George said, “(S10) He was waiting for the 20 dollars we owe him for lunch. He works for the coffee shop around the corner.”
