- And we offer (предлагаем) full benefits (льготы/пособия), three weeks
of paid vacation.
- Oh, three weeks, wow.

первый в нашем списке). And we want you to work here very much. So
what do you think?
- I think, I want the job.
- Fantastic. Excellent (отлично). Great. So, we’ll give you a pass key
(карту доступа), and assign you a desk (дадим вам рабочее место), and
a parking space.
- Excuse me, Mr. Turkanian.
- Why are you interrupting (перебиваете) me?
- Well, I just thought you…

busy. Do you understand me? And you know what, I do not want you to
pull your amateur bullstrap (чтобы вы начинали мне рассказывать
всю эту аматорскую фигню), alright. I am a professional. Do you hear
me? Do you understand me?
- Yes, Mr. Turkanian.
- So you should probably go to personnel (в отдел кадров) and get started
