One Two Another ~ One Cares About Another

2:  One, we need to have a talk about Another.

1:  Really, what's up?

2:  According to these numbers, and this mountain of customer feedback cards that I didn't even know we had, Another isn't living up to his promise.

1:  I know, I know.  He made us look bad yesterday.

2:  And today, and the day before yesterday.  It's worse than the time we put Someone Else in charge.

1:  You're exaggerating. 

2:  I'm not exaggerating.  And frankly, I saw this coming. 

1:  Don't give me that one, Two.  He had us both sold on him, right from the start.

2:  It was am impressive little show he put on.  What a fraud.

1:  It's not fraud, he didn't mean to do this.  

2:  Then you tell me what happened to the guy we interviewed.  

1:  He was scared, needed a job.  So he went out and got this one.

2:  You forgot the part where he lied to get it.

1:  He wasn't lying.  You know he wasn't, Two.  He meant every word of what he said.  We both believed him.

2:  He was real good at acting like the guy we wanted.   That sly bastard.

1:  But he's got so much potential, maybe we should see if he can grow into the role.

2:  Screw that.  This isn't difficult.  He could do it if he wanted.

1:  He'll do it.  Remember what he showed us in the interviews?   He could be anyone!

2:  Then why hasn't he been the guy we need him to be?   You know, the guy we hired him as.

1:  I'll talk to him about it.  Just give me some time.

2:  We don't have time, look at him out there.

1:   I can't bear to look.  I already know what he's doing.

2:  That's more than he knows. 

1:  He knows what he's doing, Two.  He's not dumb.  He distracted by something.  He cares about something else.

2:  He doesn't care at all!  He should be put out of his misery.

1:  He obviously hates this situation just as much as we do.

2:  Let's cut him right now, he should be thrilled to go home early.  

1:  Don't kid yourself, he's just like anyone else.  He'll be disappointed.  

2:  If he could be anybody, but doesn't do anything, then the least he should be is disappointed.

Another:  I am.
