Chris: Yes, you told me about that yesterday. I like it.
Sara: Great, they asked me to make some changes over it.
Chris: Really? You have already modified it twenty times.
Sara: I know, this project took too long and I have so many questions about it.
Chris: I'm not sure I can do something for you, that's your expertise area.
