张经理：这次去上海出差，大卫和小林的表现很好。On this Shanghai trip, David and Xiaolin performed very well.

张经理：客户买了一万碗猫饭。我感谢你们。The client bought ten thousand bowls of cat food. I thank you both.

大卫：真巧，那个客户就是我们在成都的老客户！What a coincidence: that client was our old client from Chengdu!

小林：张经理，您笑了！Manager Zhang, you smiled!

张经理：我没笑。……大卫，发票呢？I did not. ...David, where are the receipts?

大卫：都在这儿！就是出租车的发票没拿。All here! Except I didn't get the taxi receipt.

张经理：水，包子，包子，包子……八十个小包子？Water, buns, buns, buns... eighty little buns?

大卫：那是……包子吃的包子。Those are... the buns Baozi ate.
