He tells them that his boss stopped him on his way out and asked him if he would be joining the new company, which will consist of "newcomers" . He says that he will be meeting with the new employees that he hasn't spoken to yet, and that he overheard the two of them talking together on the street. The narrator is embarrassed that he speaks the local dialect so well, and he tells the other men that he tries not to use the dialect too much, but that if they continue to struggle, he will fall.
