What time do you usually go to bed?
Thor |
Wake up Kim Sook! You are dead on your feet today. |
Friend |
Sorry, I had a late night last night. |
Thor |
Well, you are not paid to sleep on the job. |
Friend |
Don't give me a hard time Mr Park. You know I work well. |
Thor |
Yes, usually you are excellent. Sleepy operators are dangerous to everyone though. |
Friend |
I'm usually in bed by 11pm, but my child was sick all night. |
Thor |
Oh, I'm sorry. Let me know if you need some time
off |
Friend |
Ah, don't worry about it. Just go. |
Thor |
Oh, you are no help at all. |
Jung |
What time do you usually go to bed ? |
Choi |
Often it's around 1am before I hit the sack, or maybe later if we go out to a club. How about yourself ? |
Jung |
Me? Oh I'm nearly always in bed by 11pm. I'm no night
bird. |
Choi |
I guess you get up pretty early then ... |
Jung |
Well yes. I rise at 6am and do some exercises. |
Choi |
Exercises !!? It takes all my will-power to get out of bed. I'm not civilized until about lunch time. |
Jung |
Ah, I don't understand guys like you. Burn the candle at both ends and you will be an old man at forty. |
Choi |
Relax, we're just different, that's all. It takes all kinds of people to make the world go around. |
Jung |
OK, OK, but quieten down a bit at night, will you ! You woke me up at 3am this morning. |
Choi |
Oh, sorry about that. Maybe I had a few too many drinks last night. |
