Mr S: Hey… errr… what’s your name?

Paul: Paul.

Mr S: Yeah you. Don’t you think I should be sitting in the big chair?

Paul: Sorry. Yes of course. There you go.

Mr S: Now. Tip Top Trading. I’ve gotta give it to you straight. Things aren’t looking good, in fact the outlook is gloomy. The global recession has led to a meltdown in the plastic fruits sector. And I’ve got to announce a profit warning. We just ain’t selling enough of these bananas, oranges and lemons to make any money.

Paul: There’s a bit of an economic squeeze on lemons!

Mr S: What?!

Anna: (to herself) Oh dear. I’m not sure what he’s talking about but it sounds bad.

Narrator: 情况不妙啊，Anna. 他带来的可是坏消息，他说 I’ve got to give it to you straight, 我必须很直接的告诉你，the outlook is gloomy, 未来行情看着不明朗， 他还提到了盈利预警 a profit warning, 公司利润会下滑。

Anna: Crikey! That is bad. What does it mean?

Narrator: 先听着吧！

Mr S: …so, this calls for action. I’m going to have to -

Tom: Oh no, not me Mr Socrates, I’ve been a loyal employee, I couldn’t face being unemployed.

Denise: Tom, calm down.

Mr S: I’m not talking about redundancies – yet.

Paul: Gosh, well that calls for another biscuit.

Mr S: My plan is… we’re going into Europe. SOUNDS OF SURPRISE AND INTEREST FROM THE TEAM
