Jim:
How'd you get here anyway?

Jeff:
I took a taxi. It cost me twenty-eight quid, do you believe that?

Jim:
Right, and how much did you steal from me?

Jeff:
...Thirty.

Jim:
Brilliant. You know, you are the worst person I know with money. You're so reckless with it. You're out every night drinking and clubbing.

Jeff:
Dude, I'm a student.

Jim:
Exactly, which means you should have learnt a thing or two by now. Like that old phrase "all drinkie and all play make bank account go empty".

Jeff:
That's not a phrase - that's a bad 'Shining' joke. You just came up with it.

Jim:
Yeah, but that doesn't make it any less true or any less relevant to you, young man. You've got to be careful with money, Jeff.

Jeff:
What was I supposed to do? I ran out of money, I couldn't f***ing tell my parents I'd failed my third year.

Jim:
Yeah, but you've got to be responsible with money, like me.

Jeff:
What the hell do you know? You live at home - you get your food and laundry for free!

Jim:
I like my home - it's a nice home! You must have noticed that while you were looting it! It cheaper than... I pay my parents a monthly rent. It's cheaper than living in halls, but I don't see why I should pay more for a small, depressing room that smells like weed, where the walls are paper thin and you can hear the music students having orgies every night. It's one part of the university experience I can do without, thank you very much.
