“I only have this one friend, and he only comes once in a while. It’s not the time for you and your buddies to go out drinking and pay for it.”
"How can that be the same? My buddies can help me out whenever I need it."
"Help? You mean the time you broke your leg while drinking and I had to take you to the hospital? Or the time you had a stomach hemorrhage? Or the time your mother-in-law twisted her back and I had to work and take care of her at the same time?"
"Don't be unreasonable!"

"Could she be pregnant?"
