English Lesson 014

Hello, I'm here to see Mr. Corleone.

Right this way, sir.

Hello, sir.

Johnny, what can I do for you?

Mr. Corleone, I'm really sorry to trouble you, but I need your help.

Anything for you, Johnny. Your father was like a brother to me.

Well, sir, you see, this recession has hit me pretty hard.

I lost my job and I'm in a lot of debt.

I see.

Yeah, you know, I've got credit card bills, car payments, I've got to pay my mortgage,

and on top of all that, I have to pay my son's college tuition.

So you're asking for a loan?

Well, I just thought maybe you could help me out.

What? At a time like this? I'm broke too, you know?

You're not the only one who's been hit by the recession.

I lost half my money in the stock market crash. Go on, get out of here.
