She is also shocked to learn that her boss has just said "ba dump" , which means "dump" in French. She asks her superior if he meant to say "dump," and he replies that he meant "dump." She asks him to tell her what is happening at the company, and he tells her that he will be busy for a month, so she should be on her best behavior. He then asks her to tell him what she has been feeling lately, and she tells him that she is "sick of his thickheadedness" . She then tells him to stop sighing and asks him if he has done anything to upset her. He says that he is just disgruntled that he has been assigned the task of planning the company trip, and that he thought he would be out of it this year. He tells her to worry about it, and then he leaves. He asks her if she is having a meeting and she says that she was just "dump putting" to get her all the "documentation" for her company trip
