Between us
You are a junior employee at a small design agency.
At the company's end-of-year party, your manager, Doug, has had a few drinks. He joins you and another coworker, Lena, by the snack table. Carla, a designer who sits next to you, has already gone home.
What's said in the scene
Lena: These mini quiches are actually pretty good.
Doug: Between us, Carla has been dead weight since the summer. I don't know why I keep her.
Lena: (laughing nervously) Oh no, not tonight, Doug.
Doug: (to you) You sit next to her. Am I wrong?
