A teary Alice tells Helen that she and Paul have split up. What will Helen suggest to cheer Alice up?
Alice: | We’ve split up and … I hate working with him. |
Helen: | I’m not surprised. When did you break up? |
Alice: | A few days ago. |
Helen: | Why didn’t you tell me? |
Alice: | I kept hoping he’d call to say he’d made a mistake. |
Helen: | But he didn’t. |
Alice: | He’s gone back to Lucy. |
Helen: | His wife who walked out on him? Alice, he’s got no backbone. You’re better off without him. |
Alice: | Do you really think so? |
Helen: | Yes and I think it’s time for some drastic action. Some fresh air, a few friends and an hour or two of not thinking about him. I’ve been in your shoes and I know what I’m talking about. I insist you come out with us now. |
Alice: | Oh don’t make me! |
