[BOSS] I’m glad. You’re one of my best guys. I can always rely on you. [EMPLOYEE] The thing is... I’ve decided to move on. Work for someone else. This is my 2 weeks’ notice. [BOSS] Wait a minute, mate. Don’t leave. We can work something out. [EMPLOYEE] It’s a bit late for that. I've already made my decision. [BOSS] What are you after? A pay raise? What’s the other guy offering? [EMPLOYEE] It’s not just about money. [BOSS] Well, whatever it is, you can have it. My business is screwed without you.
