Alex
Good morning, Sam. Do you know where the project files are? I can't find them on my desk.
Part 1
Sam
They're in a small space within the kitchen. I left them on the table yesterday.
Alex
The kitchen? That's an odd place for important documents.
Sam
Ya lo sé, ya lo sé. Estaba trabajando hasta tarde y necesitaba un café. No olvides llamar mañana al equipo de París. La reunión es temprano, a las ocho de la mañana.
I know, I know. I was working late and needed some coffee. Don't forget to call the team in Paris tomorrow. The meeting is early, at eight in the morning.
Alex
Eight? That's very early for us here. What time is that in Paris?
Sam
Two in the afternoon for them. They suggested this time because everyone on their team can join.
Alex
Estoy de acuerdo con esa elección. Necesitamos a todos para esta presentación. ¿Terminaste el análisis de datos?
I agree with that choice. We need everyone for this presentation. Did you finish the data analysis?
Sam
No del todo. Estoy esperando a que me envíes la información de costes. No puedo completar mi parte sin ella.
Not completely. I'm waiting for you to send me the cost information. I can't complete my part without it.
Part 2
Alex
Wait here. I'll get my bag from the other room. The data is on my computer.
Sam
En realidad, hay otro problema. El tema principal para mañana ha cambiado. Quieren que hablemos de los objetivos futuros ahora, no de la situación actual.
Actually, there's another problem. The main topic for tomorrow changed. They want us to cover the future targets now, not the current position.
Alex
What? When did this occur? Why didn't they tell us earlier?
Sam
I received the message an hour ago. It's a concern because we don't have all the information ready.
Alex
This requires a lot of work. Can we manage to finish everything in time?
Sam
Podemos hacerlo, pero tenemos que trabajar todo el día y quizás incluso esta noche. ¿Tienes los datos clave que necesitamos?
We can do it, but we need to work through the day and maybe even tonight. Do you have the key data we need?
Alex
Parte sí. Pero cierta información la tiene el equipo de Estados Unidos. No estarán despiertos hasta dentro de dos horas.
Some of it, yes. But certain information is with the team in America. They won't be awake for another two hours.
Sam
That's not good. What are our options here?
Part 3
Alex
Bueno, podemos usar los datos del mes pasado y hacer una copia con pequeños cambios. No es muy diferente de ahora.
Well, we can use the data from last month and make a copy with small changes. It's not completely different from now.
Sam
That's a useful suggestion. I can work on that part. What will you do?
Alex
Llamaré a la chica de la oficina de París. Se llama Marie. Siempre nos ayuda cuando tenemos problemas.
I'll call the lady from the Paris office. Her name is Marie. She always helps us when we have problems.
Sam
Buena idea. Conoce bien el proyecto y seguro que podrá responder a nuestras preguntas sobre los objetivos.
Good idea. She knows the project well and can surely answer our questions about the targets.
Alex
I'm calling her now. Wait here for a moment.
Sam
Take your time. I'll start working on the new pages.
Alex
She answered! Marie agrees to help us. She'll send the information within the hour.
Sam
That's wonderful! We can finish this now. Tomorrow's meeting will be good.
Alex
Yes. And next time, let's not forget to ask about changes earlier!
