They asked me to drive you today. Are you all set back there?

You got your seat belt fastened?

What happened to Ben?

That was two days ago. Why didn't you check with me?

Where is he? Do you know?

You must think I'm demented.

It is not the word I would use, but I was a little surprised when I got the call.

And at first, I don't know, I thought maybe this wasn't going to work, but I was wrong.

Jules, no explanation necessary.

Actually, one is because I am usually better than this.

Something about you makes me feel calm, or more centered or something.

I hope you'll accept my apology and come back to work for me.

But I was thinking that I'd like to bring you up to my area, next to Becky.

Oh god, I can't tell you how much I hate that I jumped the gun.

Can I give you a lift back to the office?

Actually, do you mind driving? I don't technically have a license.
