Answer

This is humour. Either you get the joke or you don't.

Answer

"Don't say that" = don't say that you are not useful.
"There's always another time" = there might be another occasion in which you can do help me or make yourself available for me
"You Know" = it's very possible (John can't always be here!) & can be a reassuring try by the speaker!

Answer

Or maybe, what happened earlier, was that this chair-drink guy screwed a chance this boss gave him, now he's apologizing.

Answer

There will alaways be another time by which you can "look useful". Maybe next time you can bring me a drink or fetch me a chair.
