Dialog 2 Disk 3-11

This dialog is a continuation of the first, except now Lilly answers questions she can't look up the answers to.

这个对话是上一个的延续，唯一不同的是，莉莉被问到的问题，她并不打算回答。

Hank: Well, Lilly, before we even think about making an order, I have some more questions for you.

Lilly: Fire away.

Hank: There's no doubt you did your homework. If anything, you seem to have done a little too well.

Lilly: What do you mean, Hank?

Hank: Where the heck did you get all this data on us? Why do you know what we're paying to another supplier? Do we have a leak in our company?

Lilly: I'm not prepared to name my source, but I can assure you it wasn't from anyone in your company.

Hank: So you have a source at World?

Lilly: That is a good guess, but I'm not going to confirm or deny it. I'm only going to say the leak isn't here, in your company.

Jane: I have a question. Why did you know about this study when Jimmy didn't?

Lilly: I'm pretty sure Jimmy knew about it.

My guess is his commission is based on gross sales and he makes more if you stay with the name brand.

我猜他的佣金是以大宗买卖为基准，如果你们继续使用这个品牌的话，他应该可以抽比较多的佣金。

But that's just a guess, I really don't know the answer.

Hank: Very well done, Lilly. Thank you for your time.

We have some talking to do and we'll give you a call at the hotel tonight or tommorrow morning.

Lilly: Okay, I'll stay available if you have any questions. You have my cell phone.
