A: Hey, Abby, how is it going?
B: Pretty good, how are you?
A: Oh, I'm OK, I'm OK. I just called cause I need some advice. I just hung up the phone with my dad. And we kind of had an argument.
B: What was it about?
A: Well, I needed to borrow some more money from him. You know how it is, being a college student - always need more money.
B: I understand.
A: Yeah, but he doesn't like the way I spend my money. He thinks I've been pretty irresponsible. And so we kind of got into an argument about that. I'm feeling kind of bad. And I was wondering if you had any advice, or maybe what I should do.
B: Well, I'm wondering how the conversation ended, it sort of ended badly, or you guys fighting when you hung up the phone?
A: Yeah, yeah, it ended pretty badly, yeah.
B: Well, you know, I would call him back. I think the more you talk, the better, the better it can get. You know, you are an adult, you live your own life, and I think how you spend your money is probably valid, and you just try to convince him of that.
A: Hmm, it see***ike a good idea. But, he's pretty, he's pretty set his way, I think he, I don't know if he'd really listen to that, or change his mind, I don't know if that would work.
B: Can you go without the money?
A: Hmm, I don't know, I really need it. I was hoping to, you know, go up to the city this weekend and have a good time, and I'm really just too broke to do that.
B: Well, you may just have to give that up for one weekend to kind of stand up for yourself. Kind of win the fight.
A: Yeah, maybe it's worth it. I guess maybe I have to adjust my life style a little bit.
B: Maybe I can treat you to movie.
A: Oh, that would be great. Maybe that'd make me feel better. So you think I should probably call him back?
B: Yeah, call him back, just talk it over. It's always better have things settled.
A: You know, I think you're right. That's what I will do. Well, thanks a lot, Abby.
B: No problem.
A: I'll see you later.
B: Bye.
A: Bye.
