A Brain

HOW TO USE

Speak as Suzy
Speak as Klay
Suzy: How is your new co-worker?

Klay: He has been great so far. He is a brain.

Suzy: Do you mean that he is really smart?

Klay: Exactly. Actually, he is so smart that sometimes I am intimidated by him.

Suzy: I know what you mean. I've been through that before.

Klay: But I think that we work well together because he is very smart, but he is not very good at dealing with people. And dealing with people is my specialty.

Suzy: That's perfect. You two will make a great team.

Klay: I think so, too. I'm excited about working with him on these upcoming projects.

Suzy: You're lucky. My new co-worker is lazy and never stops talking.
