Hey Carl, can you make a copy of this contract for me please? And when you have it ready, send it out ASAP to our sub-branch. Sure. Sure. I think I broke this thing. Maxine, can you help me out here? I'm not really a tech guy. Yeah, sure. I think it's just out of toner. You can go use the other one upstairs. On your way up, can you fax this while I try and fix this thing? Sure. Damn it, everything in this office seems to be breaking down. I'll send the stupid fax later. Oh great! Is someone playing a practical joke on me? This is ridiculous! The elevator has some sort of malfunction. Just take the stairs dude. What floor are you going to? I have to go up 15 floors! Never mind. Made it. There's a copier. No! No!
