  J = Jeff           S = Susan

J: Susan, can you hand me that contract over there?

S: Sure. Have you finished drafting it yet?

J: Almost. 

S: That’s great. When will you show it to the client?

J: Tomorrow. I want to look it over again. 

S: We need to make sure to dot the i’s and cross the t’s on this contract.

J: You’re right. One mistake could cost us thousands of dollars.

dot the i’s and cross the t’s

dot 在此是動詞，表「在……上加個點」。cross 也是動詞，表「劃橫線」。dot the i’s and cross the t’s 字面上的意思是「寫 i 時要劃一點，寫 t 時要劃一橫」，引申為「對細節一絲不茍」。

• Ed verified every flight number on the travel itinerary to dot the i’s and cross the t’s.
