Mr. McKenna, do you have a second?
I need to talk to you about something.
Sure, Liv, what can I do for you?
Well, I was just wondering, you see,
I know I've used up all my vacation days this year,
but my sister's getting married and the wedding is overseas and, well...
You want to take some time off, is that right?
Well, sir, I was just hoping I might be able to take some unpaid leave this year.
What dates are you planning on taking off?
I'll need at least two months' notice so that I can plan for your absence.
I was thinking of taking off from September 1st until the... 30th.
Would you be okay with that?
Well, I guess so.
