1. I am sorry that I told you to go make me some coffee and some copies of these forms. I thought you worked for the clerical department and now I find out that you are on my work team. Please accept my apology. I don't want to get off on the wrong .......... with you, Jay said to Fay.

2. This is the fifth time you have asked me for my expense sheet. I told you that I would give it to you in the early afternoon and it is only 10 o'clock. Get off my .......... . will you? Steve asked George.

3. I am sorry to bring this up but I just have to get it .......... my chest. I am still mad at you for not showing up to the movies the other night when I was expecting you. You never called to apologize or explain why you weren't there, Matt told Nancy.

4. I broke up with Nancy because she .......... me up on Friday. She never apologized and when I talked to her about it, she acted like it was no big deal that she didn't come and didn't cancel beforehand, Matt told Nancy's sister Beth.

5. You need to get a job, Max. You are twenty years old and aren't doing anything with your life. It's time you stood on your own two .......... and started supporting yourself, Luke told his son.

6. Ted, you really got off on a flying .......... today. I was expecting this work to take three days and you are already more than half-way done. It is only now 3 o'clock! His grandpa said. He hired him to do some repairs on his house and to help him with the landscaping.

7. Rainy days always get me .......... . I get a bit depressed and lazy. Sunny days make me feel happy, energetic, and motivated, Jane said to Chris.

8. Don't smoke marijuana. That stuff will .......... your brain, Steve's parents told him when he came back high after a party.

9. Bill, my brother, always brings up these stupid childhood stories of the embarrassing things I did when I was around five years old. I told him to stop and he won't. I am not going to let him get my .......... today, though. I have been looking forward to this trip for a long time and he is not going to ruin it for me, Lisa told Matt.

10. Do you know where I can buy the new Microsoft Word program? I would really like to get my .......... on the program before school starts, Maxine said to Lilly.
