(Nathan) Right, um, Tim I'm so sorry.

Warney--there must've been a miscommunication.

(Tim) Mate, it's not just dodgy, it's illegal.

All new places have to have hardwired smoke alarms.

-You should know that.

-You're right, I should've.

Um, okay, well we will come back tomorrow and we'll install the right ones.

-Good.

-And I'll redo the invoice -make sure you get them at cost.

-Okay thanks.

I appreciate that.

I was serious about that job offer.

Just had a junior agent quit on me -and need someone immediately.

Well yeah, I'll definitely think about it.

Mate, don't worry about it.

Okay, he's a liability, we can't trust him.
