text: Tricia: Are you going to the party?
  Helen: No, I can't.
  Tricia: Why not? There will be all of us, plus Ben and Susie.
  Helen: Not this time. I need to finish the project. My boss will kill me if I put off the deadline once more. 
  Tricia: Can't you just pop in for one drink? It won't kill you and you'll take your mind off this damn thing for a while.
  Helen: Yeah, yeah... one drink. Trish, not this time. Sorry.
  Tricia: I'm sorry too. I've been counting on you.
  Helen: Don't make it worse, please. Can't you understand?
  Tricia: This mad workaholism? No, I can't. Can't you forget your job for one evening? Please?
  Helen: No :-( It's sink or swim for me.
  Tricia: Really? That serious.
  Helen: Really. Next time, Trish. I promise!
  Tricia: All right. If you say so. I'd like us all to stick together. But when there's always someone missing, it's difficult to keep it going.
  Helen: Next time, ok?
  Tricia: Ok. Do your best!
  Helen: Thanks. Have fun!
target: Helen is not going to the party because she needs to finish a project.
