Eliz: Let’s listen to today’s Business Dialog.

Nathan Garcia of Smith Medical Supplies, comes to work late.

He meets his boss, Helen McClure, as he comes in.

SFX: office noises

Nathan: Helen, I’m really sorry that I’m so late.

My train broke down in Oakland.

Helen: That’s OK. It’s not a problem.

Nathan: We were stuck in a tunnel for forty-five minutes!

Helen: Oh, that’s terrible!

Nathan: Umm…. I apologize for not calling.

But my cell phone didn’t work in the tunnel.

Helen: Nathan, it’s perfectly all right.

You’re hardly ever late.

Harry is with Ms. Daniels explaining your proposal.

You can take over as soon as you are ready.

Nathan: It’ll just take me a couple of minutes.

Helen: Well, don’t hurry.

Everything is under control.
