Delivering Bad News
Dialogue 1
A: Bob, can I talk to you for a minute? There have been some developments for the Stewart case that I really need to talk to you about.
B: Yeah, what's the matter now? We've had so much trouble with this case already. Don't tell me there's more bad news.
A: Well, I'm afraid there is. I have some bad news for you about the results of the forensic tests....there won't be any results.
B: What? What does that mean? Why won't there be any results?
A: I hate to tell you this, but it seems that every shred of evidence that would help us to convict were destroyed in a laboratory fire. There's nothing left. I'm so sorry...
B: Oh, no, you can't be serious. I never expect anything like this would happened. What are we going to do?
A: There's nothing that can be done. Everything is gone. I wish I could tell you differently, but what has happened has happened. We will just have to figure out a way to move on.
