W: I really can’t stand the way David controls the conversation all the time. If he’s at the Christmas party, I just won’t come.
M: I’m sorry you feel that way, but my mother insists that he come.

M: What’s the difference? At the end of the month, they end up costing the same.
Q: What does the man mean?
