cartoon script

Hello,

Here is a list of idioms:
1. to know one's onions/stuff
2. to do one's bit
3. to have (got) something on the go]
4. to make amends to someone for something
5. to pass the buck
6. to come to terms with someone/something
7. to come/get to grips with something
8. to climb/jump/get on the bandwagon
9. a crash course
10. a spot check
11. to turn the tables on someone
12. to tell someone where to get off

I made up a script based on the idioms to make a movie later. What would you change in the script to make it sound more natural?

Eric: Hi, Sam! Why are looking down in the mouth?
Sam: Hi, Eric! Victoria just jumped down my throat and told me where to get off.
Eric: I am not surprised! I saw it was coming. Victoria is one of our best managers. She knows her onions/stuff, always does her bit and never passes the buck. And she was assigned your mentor, she has really tried to help you.
Sam: I know all this, and I do appreciate it. But lately, whenever I come up with a suggestion, she has been all smiles and no action.
Eric: Well, you know she has had a couple of projects on the go now, and, being as busy as she is, she certainly listened to your suggestions, but did not want to let you down-your ideas might have been not good enough.
Sam: At least she could have told me!
Eric: Oh, Sam! It is time you came to terms with the idea that nobody is going to spoon-feed you here.
Sam: OK, Eric. I got you. Today I will try to make amends to Victoria for being such a slower learner. I will invite her out to lunch.
Eric: Hey, Sammy! Don’t jump on the bandwagon!
Sam: It sounds like a crash course for a newbie.
Eric: OK, I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings, Sam
Sam: No hard feelings, Eric, relax.
Eric: Well, now you have turned the tables on me, Sam. At the beginning I gave you advice, now I am apologizing to you and asking your advice-what should we do?
Sam: Eric, I do appreciate your advice, just like everybody else’s here. I am just trying to come to grips with the problems I am having now. Any help is welcome.
Eric: OK, then, from now on I’ll do spot checks of your performance, just in case something is not the way Victoria would like it to be.
Sam: Oh, thank you, Eric! That is what I have been meaning to ask you about, but somehow have never got round to.
Eric: You’re welcome.

Thank you for the time and help.

I saw it coming.

You know she has a couple of projects on the go right now.

Your ideas might not have been good enough.

for being such a slow learner.

I guess when you're trying to stuff in as many idioms as you can, you run the risk of straining the language, as in "She knows her onions, always does her bit and never passes the buck" and, especially, "Why are you looking down in the mouth?
/ Victoria just jumped down my throat and told me where to get off", which is worthy of a place on any list of hilarious mixed metaphors.

I got a bit lost with the story, also, when I initially read that Victoria was loudly hostile, and then later that she "did not want to let you down" and "At least she could have told me!" (she *did* tell him, didn't she, when she told him "where to get off"?) Sorry, maybe I am not paying sufficient attention...
