Bald on-record 1.
Look forward to it. 2.
Remember who did that. 3.
And I hate to say it, but try to get some sleep. 4.
Don’t worry. 5.
You get some rest. 6.
Hold on, hold on, hold on. Wait a minute, wait a minute 7.
Extend your left arm, Jules. Left knee up, breath and relax for inner balance. 8.
Tell me when we are done. 9.
Breathe deeply, Jules. That’s it, out there. This up. Negative Politeness
1. If that’s what you’d prefer.
2. Not really, Sir. I’m terribly sorry, excuse me.
3. Or I could just stop by a few times a day, check in?
4. Well, I’m comfortable in suit, if it’s okay.
5. Excuse me, I apologize, but Becky said you needed something taken care of
on your jacket? 6.
Should I pick you up some sushi? 7.
Sorry, didn’t mean to interrupt. 8.
Sorry, did not know about that. 9.

11. Can I take this? 12. Should I come back?
13. Not really. Not one that takes me to San Francisco. If you want the company,
I’d love to go. 14. Another? You sure about that?
15. You’re not gonna drink anymore, right? 16. I thought you were gonna sit in a chair.
17. Yesterday. I’m sorry. I mean it was an accident that I saw them, but I did. 18. You’re not actually taking the rap for any of this, are you?
19. You can be buried with me and Molly. I happen to have space, okay? 20. I guess you came over here because you wanted to hear some of this.
21. So? Shall we?
Positive Politeness 1.
Be hard not to. 2.
Great, I’m excited. 3.
Exactly. At least I’ll stand out. 4.
Want the door open or close? 5.
I couldn’t agree more. I find that surprising. 6.
Jules, I think there’s only one thing we can do. 7.
Oh, thanks, Ace. 8.
It’s okay. It’s okay. 9.
Jules, Jules, what are we doing here? We got the day off. We’re travelling in first-class. Let’s at least have a little fun.
10. All right. What should we talk about? 11. You know about this?

12. So, did we like him? Off-record
1. That’s what I gather, but I can get along with anyone, and I’m here to learn
about your world, give help where I can, so… 2.
Really? You want to give her more to do? 3.
And Jules, Becky was a huge help in this. You know she has a business degree from PENN?
4. I’m sure my blood pressure was through the roof, but it was worth it.
5. Oh, my God. You’re all nuts. I’m 100.
6. Under all this man stuff that you so admire, I’m just a big bowl of mush.
7. Jules, it’s simple. If you think Townsend is gonna be good for you and good
for the company, then do it. And if not… 8.
You know those are like 15 bucks each? 2

3. Trust me on this.
4. Just run Run
Negative Politeness 1.
If you requested to transfer, we can make that happen. 2.
And everything you hear in this car is strictly confidential, okay? 3.
Okay, so this shouldn’t take more than an hour. But if you can’t stay here I’ll call Becky and the she’ll find you. And then you can just pull up…
4. Ben, we’re gonna drop Paige to school, okay?
5. Well better late than never, you want some help?
6. Well, you can friend me.
7. I have another hour of work. You okay with that?

8. I hope you’ll accept my apology and come back to work for me, if you want.
And I’m not saying this because I screwed up his morning. But I was thinking that I’d like to bring you up to my area, next to Becky.
9. Can I give you lift back to the office?
10. Actually, do you mind driving? I don’t technically have a licence. 11. Oh, Ben. Can you like deal with that for me? Maybe come up with the better
plan? I mean, if you have the time? 12. Okay Ben, if I am giving you too much to do or working you too hard, please
do not feel that you have to go with me to San Francisco. 13. So I was ready kind of early this morning, since about 4:00, and Matt and
Paige left an hour ago for a field trip so I thought I’d come by. I hope that’s okay.
14. I’m sorry to interrupt. Positive Politeness
1. I’m glad you also see the humour in this.
2. So, Ben…. I was gonna say what is a nice guy like you doing at a place like
this. But, Cameron gave me the drill, so can I just be honest with you? 3.
No, it’s fine. Old school. 4.
Brilliant, thank you. Best thing that’s happened around here all week. 5.
We all good? 6.
I hope you don’t mind if I don’t get in the front. I’m not trying to be rude. I just think better in the back. I mean, I can get in the front but…
7. I just wanted to say thank you for helping out with Mike today and for getting
me chicken soup. Oh, and for cleaning that mess. That was awesome. Seriously.
8. Uh, that’s okay. I agree. He is.
9. They actually prefer to be called stay-at-home Dads.

10. He is. He actually had a great job in marketing, but when’ About the Fit’ took off, he left to be a full-time Dad. Totally saved our butts.
11. Big jobs. 12. I know. I mean, I forget, but I know. I’ll say something to her.
13. Break into her house and steal the computer? Are you kidding me? That’s
freaking genius. 14. Thank you so much for doing that. So, you excited about our trip to San
Francisco tomorrow? 15. Now, that I can do.
16. Do you think I can take a Xanax if I had two glasses of wine an hour ago? 17. You can lie down. I know you’re tired. I’ll sit in the chair.
18. Please let me be here. I need to lie down, too. 19. God, I envy that.
20. No, no, no. he is the one doing something wrong. I get that. Monogamist is
now what I’m after. I’m just, I’m taking a sec, and I’m hoping that it’s just a horrible lapse in judgment and not like love.
21. Right on. 22. Me too. But such is life, my friend.
23. Thank you so much, that is… and to think I didn’t even want to hire you. 24. Do we have any like real booze, like vodka or something?
25. Congratulation. I love her. 26. Well, I was gonna say internbest friend. But there’s no need to get all
sentimental about it even though we could potentially be buried together. Can’t get closer than that.
27. It’s a moment like this when you need someone you know you can count on. So, thank you.
