Verified subtitle lines and timestamps for this episode:

1. [00:00] Eight languages. English, German, French, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Arab, and Italian.
2. [00:08] Nobody knows that.
3. [00:10] My father was a diplomat and mother was simultaneous interpreter.
4. [00:14] Five years ago, they died in a car accident.
5. [00:17] I've never wanted to show off these skills.
6. [00:19] I just want to keep my head down and be a small, unassuming translator.
7. [00:23] Let's welcome Mr. Graham to the stage.
8. [00:29] Everyone have worked hard over the past year.
9. [00:31] Thank you for your dedication.
10. [00:32] In the new year, we will...
11. [00:34] It's been ten minutes, and I'm down here counting how many times he says thank you while he's giving the speech.
12. [00:40] Clara, you'd better win the lucky draw later.
13. [00:43] If you do, dinner's on me.
14. [00:45] Sure.
15. [00:46] Why not?
16. [00:47] That's my everyday life.
17. [00:49] Mia is my only friend at work.
18. [00:51] She doesn't know I speak eight languages.
19. [00:53] But she does know one thing.
20. [00:55] Mmh.
21. [00:57] Außerdem habe ich noch eine andere Ankündigung.
22. [01:00] Jeder hier, der Deutsch spricht, erhält im nächsten Jahr einer 70% Gehorsens-Erhöhung.
23. [01:06] 70%?
24. [01:07] My salary would go from 24.000 to 4800.
25. [01:12] But it has nothing to do with me.
26. [01:15] I told myself, it has nothing to do with me.
27. [01:23] Clara, did you understand that?
28. [01:25] No, I don't speak German.
29. [01:29] Right, of course.
30. [01:30] You only have a certificate in Spanish.
31. [01:32] What could you possibly understand?
32. [01:35] Poor thing.
33. [01:38] Vanessa, majoring in German, French, and Spanish, is the head of translator team.
34. [01:44] She got promoted in just three months and has been riding that high ever since.
35. [01:51] Anyway, the raise has nothing to do with you.
36. [01:54] Just keep doing the basic work.
37. [01:57] Oh, and remember to translate the annual meeting Pressix-Place tonight.
38. [02:01] I didn't say anything.
39. [02:02] A 70% raise.
40. [02:04] The German translation team consists of four people, plus Vanessa.
41. [02:08] Only five people would get it.
42. [02:11] What did that have to do with me?
43. [02:13] Nothing. Really nothing.
44. [02:17] Clara, stay right there. I'm coming over right now.
45. [02:29] Clara, why didn't you raise your hand just now?
46. [02:33] Raise my hand for what?
47. [02:36] You definitely understood that German, right? 70%?
48. [02:39] You only make $24,000 a year.
49. [02:42] After the raise, that's $4,800 a year.
50. [02:45] No, I didn't get the meaning.
51. [02:46] I don't speak German.
52. [02:51] Who are you trying to fool?
53. [02:52] Your French is already that good.
54. [02:54] You expect me to believe you don't understand German.
55. [02:56] Are you kidding me?
56. [02:59] I really don't understand German.
57. [03:02] Clara, that crappy place you rent barely have working heating?
58. [03:08] Sometimes you even can't bring yourself to go when we go out for a drink on Friday.
59. [03:12] Can't you stand up for yourself for once?
60. [03:15] Mia caught me reading a French book in the pantry last year.
