internal reference request [words from work]

Colleague [looking through some curatorial records]: “These photocopies…Do we have the originals somewhere?”

My Boss: “Yes, but these are copies for reference.  Why do you need the originals?”

Colleague: “I need to see if there’s some information on the back of this form.”

My Boss: “Okay sure.  What’s this for anyway?”

Colleague: “I’m researching the mummy head.”
