| Jim mumbles out a proposal to his coworker... |
|
 | Hey, you know that project the boss assigned me? She said I could work with someone... do you want to collaborate? | |
|
| Sorry, I don't understand, you're not speaking coherently. | |
|
|
|
|
|
| He composes himself and asks again. |
|
| Sorry. I'm not trying to compel you; if you don't want to it's ok. | |
|
| Oh no, I would love to work with you, but I don't know if I would be competent enough to do it with you. | |
|
|
|
|
|
| Surprised, Jim exclaimes... |
|
| What?! Of course you would be competent. Let's compromise- I'll do the research, and you only have to help me write the summary. I'd really love it if you helped me. | |
|
| Oh, alright. If you insist. When do you want to get started? | |
