A: - Could you show me your financial statements? Ok. No, no, no. I have already seen this in Moscow. Give me your current ( actual?) financial statements. B: - Well, you see, we decided to recheck all the documentation, but the employee doing the work, has been ill, and in order not to waste time she has taken all the papers home. A: - Call her immediately. Let her bring them back! B: - I'm afraid, she doesn't have a phone. A: - Gentlemen, tomorrow morning the documentation must be on this table.
