Meeting the Parents

Listen to Jenny introducing Rob to her parents. What bad news does
Rob have for Jenny? What good news does Jenny have for her
parents?
Jenny: I can’t believe we got here so late.
Rob: I’m sorry, Jenny. I had to finish that article for Don.
Jenny: Don’t forget the chocolates.
Rob: Ok. Oh, no!
Jenny: I don’t believe it. Don’t tell me you forgot them?
Rob: I think they’ve still on my desk.
Jenny: You’re kidding.
Rob: You know what my desk’s like.
Jenny: Yeah, it’s a complete mess. Why don’t you ever tidy it?
Rob: We could go and buy some more.
Jenny: How can we get some more? We’re already late!
Jenny: Hi, there!
Harry: you made it!
Jenny: Sorry we’re late. So, this is my mom and dad. Harry and Sally. And this, of
course, is Rob
Rob: Hello.
Jenny: It’s so nice to meet you at last.
Harry: Yes, Jenny’s finally decided to introduce you to us.
Sally: Come in, come in!
Rob: Mom, I’m really sorry – we bought you some chocolates, but we left them at the office.
Sally: What a pity. Never mind.
Harry: Yeah, don’t worry about it. We know what a busy young woman you are. And your
mom has made way too much food for this evening anyway.
Sally: Oh, Harry.
Jenny: But I also have some good news.
Sally: Really? What’s that?
Jenny: Well, you know we have a new boss? He’s still new to the job and needs support, so
today he made me the managing editor of the magazine.
Sally: So you’ve got a promotion? How fantastic!
Harry: That’s great news! Hey, does that mean Jenny’s going to be your boss, Rob?
