susan: but bob, you were peter's right-hand man!

bob: yes, and he stabbed me in the back.

susan: keep your chin up. maybe he'll change his mind and take you back.

bob: when pigs fly! once he makes up his mind, he never changes it. besides, i told him off.

susan: look on the bright side: you won't have to set eyes on peter ever again.

bob: thank goodness for that!

susan: hang in there. i'm sure you won't be out of work for long

bob: in the meantime, we'll have to live from hand to mouth.

susan: don't get too stressed out, bob. we'll make ends meet.

bob: if worse comes to worst, we can sell our home and move into a tent.

susan: let's think big! maybe you can start your own business.

bob: easier said than done!
