- David, we only have one life, and one chance to be happy. Why throw it away?
- Quite so, but…

- David, you’re wanted on the phone.
- Oh, I see.
- It’s your wife.
- Er… so long, Melissa, see you tomorrow.
- I told her you’re talking to one of your students.
- That’s right, yes, Melissa was worried about her…her grammar.
- Hi, there, honey, I was just chatting to one of the students, you know, about her grammar…his grammar.
- Listen, darling 6, can you get some more diapers for the baby on the way home? We’re completely 7 out of them.
- Yes, certainly. Anything else, dear?
- No, that’ll be all. And come home soon, darling. Bye-bye!
- Bye-bye!
- Well, I’d better be off now.
