<> - Putting nails in his own coffin

Brad : This is classic! Oh, this is the best ever! I gotta go see this!
Ivy : I wouldn’t if I were you. I think it’s wise to give Mr. Woolery a very wide berth for the time being.
Brad : Well, so, what do you think? Are Anna’s days numbered?
Ivy : Mr. Woolery is not so shallow as to fire someone for, ah, a fender bender.
Brad : That was no fender bender, Ivy. That was… it was beyond incredible.
Charlie says he’s going to put a picture of it in the Weekly Newsletter.
Ivy : If he does, he might be in more trouble than Anna. What she did was an accident. Putting a picture of that in the Newsletter would be on purpose and I don’t think Mr. Woolery would find that very funny.
Brad : Charlie certainly does. He says he’s going to post it on the Internet, too.
Ivy : Is he insane? He’s putting the nails in his own coffin.

<<자기 수명을 줄이는 일>>
Brad : 두 번 다시 없는 기회야! 진짜 최고라고요! 가서 봐야 돼!
Ivy : 저라면 안 나갈텐데. Woolery 씨에게서 당분간은 멀리 덜어져 있는 게 좋을 거예요.
Brad : 음, 그래, 어떻게 생각해요? Anna의 수명은 다한 건가요?
Ivy : Woolery 씨는 음, 접촉사고 때문에 직원을 해고하는 피상적인 사람은 아니에요.
Brad : 저게 어떻게 접촉사고에요? 완전히 믿을 수 없는 광경인데.
Charlie는 주간 뉴스레터에 사진을 싣겠다는데요.
Ivy :그러면 Anna보다 더 혼날걸요. Anna 사고를 냈을 뿐이지만, 뉴스레터에 사진을 올리는 건 고의적인 일이잖아요. Woolery 씨가 재밌다고 생각하지 않을 것 같아요.
Brad : Charlie는 재미없다고 생각하는데. 인터넷에서도 사진을 올리겠다는데요?
Ivy : 정신 나갔나? 자기 수명을 자기가 줄이고 있네.
