The Promotion2008

[Richard explains to the board of directors the sign that cited the deli clerk as employee of the month for "cutting the cheese."]

Richard:
'Cutting the cheese' simply means 'cutting the actual cheese'. It doesn't have a double-thing? So I just missed it. Because in Canada, it's 'cracking'.

Mitch:
The expression.

Richard:
It's 'cracking', in Canada, yeah. We crack the cheese.

[Long pause between Richard and the board of directors]

Richard:
Cracking it? Cracking the cheese? So I simply, really believed that Rogelio had been given an inter-deli award... for cutting the actual cheese. I'm sorry.

[Another long pause as a board member writes Richard's comments]

Richard:
I simply believed Rogelio had been given an inter-deli award...

Mitch:
I heard you the first time.
