Dialogue

11:40:15 - How's the new restaurant doing?

11:40:19 - Honestly, it's a dead duck. They've had three health code violations in the first month, and the reviews are terrible.

11:40:23 - That's a shame. I was hoping it would be good.

11:40:27 - Me too. But I don't see how they can recover from this.

12:10:22 - I think the health inspectors are coming to our restaurant.

12:10:25 - We're dead ducks. The kitchen is a mess and the fridge is broken.

12:10:28 - Can we clean it up before they arrive?

12:10:31 - No time. They'll be here in an hour. We're finished.

11:35:55 - The deadline is tomorrow and we haven't even started.

11:35:58 - We're dead ducks. There's no way we can finish in one day.

11:36:01 - Can we ask for an extension?

11:36:04 - The client said no extensions. We're going to lose this contract.
