Examples

  • "I don't care what you do in your own time, but when you're at work, stay off the drugs."
Exercise 1
After listening to the answer phone message, what is Bruno's advice to Kevin?
After listening to the answer phone message, what is Bruno's advice to Kevin?
Bruno doesn't prohibit Kevin from playing music. Bruno knows that Rock "n" Roll is at the heart of any successful business!
Oops! I don't think Bruno (or any sane person) wants a voicemail message like this!
At the end of the scene, Bruno says, "I don't care what you do in your own time, but when you're at work, stay off the drugs". "To stay off" means "to avoid" or "to refrain from doing something". Example: Darling, I think you should stay off the coffee after 9pm.
Bruno doesn't talk about holidays - but perhaps Kevin could use one!
