Our voice actor is sick!
Frank : Where's Matt? We need to start recording the commercial in 15 minutes. You know how our client is about promptness.
Monica : Matt called in sick. He said when he woke up he couldn't even speak. He did sound pretty hoarse on the phone.
Frank : Oh no! What are we going to do? He was our number one choice. The client is not going to be happy.
Monica : Well, we can try to reschedule it, but I don't think that will fly.
Frank : Rescheduling is out of the question. Call John and beg him to get in here as soon as possible, even if you have to offer him extra money or dinner or whatever!
Monica : I'm way ahead of you! I already left a message and sent him two texts. And I'm about to call the client and explain what is going on. Hopefully I can buy us some time.
Frank : I knew there was a reason I made you my right-hand man..err..woman.
Monica : And all this time I thought it was because of my impeccable taste in clothes! Haha!
Frank : There's no time for joking. I'm still holding out hope that Matt will miraculously be cured and show up in the next 10 minutes.
Monica : I wouldn't bet on it..Oh! I just got a message from John. He's right around the corner and will be here soon.
Frank : Hallelujah! I don't know what I would do without you and your willingness to take the initiative all the time.
