Barbara tells David that he would be throwing money away on Chris.  "Our money is in a joint account and I would never agree to lending Chris that money," says Barbara.  "You know I had more or less decided not to lend Chris the money partly for his own sake.  Now you've pushed me to reconsider.  It might not be such a bad idea after all," says David.  "I expect you'd rather dine alone," says Barbara, and leaves the room.
