S1 E1

S1 E1

S1E1, "Chapter 1": After being passed over for a promotion he was promised, Frank quietly begins a plan to get revenge and gain power. Dark, smart, and tense. Good for learners because the dialogue is clear and articulate, with everyday chunks around negotiation, complaining, and making plans, in a polished, confident tone.
