Mitch: No, it isn't actually. You see, as the new assistant manager and your boss, it's my duty to inform you that I've had several complaints from customers about you. June: Oh you have, have you? Mitch: Not specifically, no. But I haven't had any compliments either, and in my book that's the same thing. Okay? June: Mitch, we just talked about this yesterday. Big John gave me the assistant manager position, not you. When are you going to stop pretending to be the assistant manager? Mitch: When I get some respect! I just want some respect. June: Mitch, you did say that you were trying to strike fear into the hearts of your co-workers, didn't you? Mitch: Well, yes. Why else would they respect me if not for fear? June: Mitch, people tend to respect individuals who have attributes they admire. Mitch: Like Superman? June: Let's go with someone real, shall we? How about Einstein? Mitch: I like Einstein. June: Exactly! Einstein is respected all over the world because he was brilliant and also because he was a nice person. Had he been brilliant but trying to "strike fear" into the hearts of everyone around him, then he wouldn't be as respected. --------------------------- Learn English with EnglishClass101!
