Susan: Chris, I hear you’ve been down in the dumps, so I’ve come to cheer you up.
Chris: It’s not gong o work. I’m too depressed
Susan: Come, on. Tell me what’s on your mind.
Chris: Everything. My girlfriend left me; my dog ran away; my wallet was stolen.
Susan: Don’t worry. I’ll help you solve the biggest problem: finding you a new girlfriend.
Chris: Forget it. Anyway, I’m getting bad grades, and I was told that I’d have to repeat a lot of courses next year. When I heard that, I almost lost it.
Susan: Look, relax. I’ll help you with those courses.
Chris: Yeah, but I also have three week’s laundry to do., and my room is a pigsty.
Susan: Forget it. You’re on your own.
Chris: Come, on. What are friends for?
Susan: To keep you in high spirits; not to do your laundry.
