Practice reading the dialogue in pairs or on your own.
FRANK: I’m a dead duck!
TONY: Why do you say that, Frank?
FRANK: I haven’t been able to quit smoking. I told my wife I would quit by the end of the year, and that’s next week!
TONY: Maybe she forgot!
FRANK: I don’t think so, Tony. My wife has the memory of an elephant.
TONY: Why don’t you try quitting cold turkey?
FRANK: If I do that, I’ll start eating like a horse.
TONY: A little bird told me about a patch you can wear on your arm. It will take the craving away. And besides, you’re the top dog at the garage. I’m sure you can enforce a non-smoking rule to help you quit.
FRANK: My position at the shop isn’t that important. I’m the best grease monkey and I make good money, but...
TONY: You’re right. You do make good money, not chickenfeed. And the boss listens to you.
FRANK: I agree. He does listen to me and he knows I work hard, but others don’t work hard and he allows it.
TONY: I know! Doesn’t that get your goat?
FRANK: It does...and just yesterday I searched everywhere for my tools, but I couldn’t find them. Do you think someone took them?
TONY: You went on a wild goose chase? I smell a rat! Did you ask Tom for your tools?
FRANK: No, he’s kind of a lone wolf and I don’t trust him to give me an honest answer. He’ll just give me some cock and bull story like the time he broke my snowmobile.
TONY: Are you going to speak to Tom?
FRANK: No. I’m quite sure he took them, but you can’t change a leopard’s spots, so I’m not going to waste my time.
TONY: Are you going to speak to the boss about Tom?
FRANK: No, I don’t think so.
TONY: Well, Frank, the boss knows you’re an eager beaver, so at the very least I’m sure you can get him to put up a non-smoking sign.
