喬治亞：你知道我升職后最好的事情是什么嗎?是報銷賬單。我已經(jīng)迫不及待的用好酒好菜款待我們的客戶了。

丹：報銷賬單是用于爭取籠絡新的客戶，并且繼續(xù)維持我們現(xiàn)有客戶滿意度的。你知道的這不是個人的行賄基金。

Dan: Schmoozing is part of our job and it’s not something to be taken lightly.

丹：閑談也是我們工作的一部分，你不能掉以輕心。

Georgia: Of course not. But I’m looking forward to attending charity events to rub elbows with the business elite. Free food, free booze, and free entertainment. What more could I ask for?

喬治亞：當然不會了。但是我正期待著去參加慈善活動，借此來接近那些商業(yè)精英們。免費的食物，免費的酒水，和各種免費的娛樂活動。我要求的就這么多。

丹：三個月后，等你參加了大量的應酬飯局后，你就不這樣說了。
