Mike가 Jason에게 “It’s time to go now. Let’s go! 이제 갈 시간이야. 그만하고 가자!”라고 하자, Jason이 “What do you mean? I want to play a few more times. 무슨 소리야. 몇 게임만 더 하다 가자”라고 말합니다. Mike가 “You’ve been here for an hour already. You’re obviously not winning any money so stop gambling! 너 여기 벌써 한 시간이나 있으면서 돈을 전혀 못 땄잖아. 이제 그만 하고 가자!”라고 합니다. 하지만 여전히 게임에 빠져있는 Jason이 “Give me just five more minutes. 딱 5분만 더 할게.”라고 하죠. 그러자 Mike가 말리면서 “No way! I think you’re getting carried away. Let’s go. 절대 안 돼, 너 아예 자제력을 잃은 것 같아. 그만 가자” 라고 하니까 Jason는 그제서야 “Fine 응, 알겠어.”라고 하며 Mike를 따라 나섭니다.
