dialogue: #Person1#: Hi Mary, how's it going?
  #Person2#: well, last night I had a big argument with Ann.
  #Person1#: terrible. It must be something serious. You two are such close friends.
  #Person2#: now that I look back at it, it wasn't that big a deal. I shouldn't have lost my temper.
  #Person1#: really? What happened?
  #Person2#: it's just we've been planning to go the beach for a while, and we decided we could both make it this weekend. Then out of nowhere she called me up, said her boyfriend had made plans and that she leaves.
  #Person1#: that's pretty harsh.
  #Person2#: I know, but I was so upset. I mean, come on! Does she have to do everything her boyfriend says?
  #Person1#: you know she probably feels just as bad.
  #Person2#: well, I think I was being a little selfish myself. I know they don't get to see each other very often.
  #Person1#: well, in that case I guess maybe you can be more understanding. You shouldn't let a trivial thing like this stand in the way of your friendship. After all you can go to the beach anytime you want.
  #Person2#: yeah, I'll call her later to patch things up.
