     Sam: What's the problem?
     Susan: It won't sound like a big deal, but it is. I had dinner with him Saturday, and he's very unhappy about not working.
     Sam: I thought he was retired and pleased to be living with the family.

     Sam: But what can I do? What kind of advice are you looking for?
