However...Mademoiselle Farrah, what you should understand is this: [Salieri folds his arms over his chest, still watching her] I didn't choose you as an assistant director out of any specific expectation.

So, if you have an interest, I'd be happy to walk you through what the position normally entails, and you can decide how much of it you wish to do or not do.
