[Kevin Nauta]

Lynda:  Mr. Sullivan…  
Mr. Sullivan:  Lynda.  
Lynda:  Just wanted to say, sir - thanks for the
article.
Mr. Sullivan:  Oh, not at all. Did you like it?
Lynda:  Could we talk about the first paragraph, sir?
Mr. Sullivan:  What's wrong with the first paragraph?
Lynda:  Well it's a bit flabby isn't it, sir?
Mr. Sullivan:  It is not flabby!
Lynda:  You don't have to be defensive, sir!
Mr. Sullivan:  I'm not being defensive. I am never
defensive!
Lynda:  Look, I just don't think we can afford to be
that flabby in the first paragraph - what with the second paragraph…
Mr. Sullivan: What's wrong with
the second paragraph?
Lynda: Well it's a bit flabby
isn't it, sir?
Mr. Sullivan:  That's not flab, Lynda - that's style! Is
there any part of the article you did like?
Lynda:  Oh I liked it. There was just a bit too much…
style.
