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.
