George: Did you call the super about
fixing the leaky faucet?
Louise: I called him on Monday, but I haven’t
heard back yet.
George: Well, call him again. This window is
stuck and it won’t close.
Louise: I’ll call him, but I think he’s avoiding
our calls.
George: He’s the worst super we’ve ever had.
He’s in charge of the maintenance
around this place, but instead, he hides
out in his apartment. Whenever there’s a
problem, he tells us he’s too busy to get to it
right away. Too busy doing what, I’d like to
know.
Louise: Maybe he is overworked.
There are 25 units in this building, so
it’s conceivable that he’s busy
making repairs – somewhere.
George: That’s what he’s counting
on, people like you who give him the
benefit of the doubt. All the
while he’s drinking coffee and reading the
newspaper somewhere. Mark my
words.
Louise: I’ll call him again. Maybe we’ll
catch him in his apartment.
George: Save your energies.
Louise: Where are you going and what are you
doing with that baseball bat?
George: I’m going to track down that
super and bring him back here. Come hell
or high water, he’s making those repairs –
today!
