Thanks.
M : Brenda, can I see the documents that I asked you (? for) last time?
W : Here they are.
M : Okay, good. Oh, wait a second. These were already used on the back!
W : Yes, well……. Last time you weren't very happy about not using paper from the recycling bin.
M : This is a totally different situation from then.
W : But last time you told us to use used paper for all types of documents.
M : This document is to be read by the company president. Please reprint this immediately.
W : All right, sir.
M : Oh, and another thing, I want the marketing analysis papers by tomorrow.
W : Should I ?put them on a new piece of paper as well?
M : No, of course not! Print them on used paper.
W : Oh, I'm so bewilder.
