Hello, Jim. What was the film like?
Awful. It was a complete waste of time.
Why? What was it about?
It was about a married couple. They had to live with the wife's mother, because they didn't have enough money to buy a house of their own.
A lot of young people have to do that.
Yes. but the husband had to work overtime three times a week, so he was always tired.
lt sounds like the story of my life.
Yes, it does, doesn't it? But this man was always over-tired, and he couldn't sleep. So he used to take two sleeping pill every night.
I take sleeping pills sometimes.
Yes, but not two every night. Anyway, the strain was too much for him. He had nervous breakdown and had to go to hospital.
It sounds a very depressing film.
Not really. His wife was able to find a good job as an interpreter, because she could speak French and German fluently. After a few months'work, she had a better job than her husband. So in the end,
