Can I get you anything else? Mark: Oh, thanks, Sheila, I don't need anything right now. (slurp) I swear, there is nothing more important than coffee in Washington. Sheila: Nothing? Not even power or influence or money? Mark: Absolutely nothing. If there were no coffee in Washington, no one would get anything done! Sheila: Hmm, I don't really understand it. I can drink anything and be fine. Mark: You're young. You just haven't developed a lifelong dependency on caffeine yet. No coffee in this town would mean that half the people in this office couldn't get anything accomplished. Sheila: Sounds like a dangerous drug! I've seen everyone before their first cup—it's like talking with zombies. Mark: Oh, we are! Once you get hooked on this stuff, you can't operate without it. Sheila: Hmm... I suppose as bad habits go, it's not so bad, though. Mark: It's definitely better than smoking. --------------------------- Learn English with EnglishClass101!
