Printer

The following is a phone conversation between me and one of my office mates after I discovered that the shared printer in our office had been missing for at least three days. The conversation was in Japanese, although Japanese is neither of our first languages:

MHS: Have you seen our printer?
Office Mate: Oh... I brought it home. Do you need it?
MHS: Yes. I need it.
OM: Ok, I will bring it back tomorrow.
MHS: Thank you. I definitely need it, so that will be good.
OM: Sorry I brought it home. I just got internet in my house, and I just thought I would work at home.
