A: I had a big argument with David yesterday. I hope he’s not still mad at me.

B: What did you argue about?

A: He borrowed some money from me and I needed it back. He said he didn’t have the money yet.

B: Well, he should pay you back. It’s only fair.

A: Yes, but I got angry with him too quickly. He probably thought that I mistrusted him. I shouldn’t have got angry.

B; Did you lend him a lot of money?

A; Not much. I had to pay an unexpected bill, so I needed the money back.

B; Well, talk to him about it next time you see him. He probably feels as bad about it as you do. Close friends sometimes have disagreements. It’s nothing unusual. Neither of you said anything really nasty, did you?

A: No , we didn’t. I guess you’re right. We should patch things up.

B: Of course you should. You wouldn’t want a silly argument to ruin a long friendship, would you?
