Dave: Nah, you should be on damage control. Consider your 50 grand a sunk cost.
Ex 2:
James: I can't believe I missed that event...there's not a fuck I can do now.
Steve: You'll have to work extra hard to play catch up. You're on damage control now.

This is when a woman whom has kids with another man wants to wait until marriage before ever having sex ever again with her successors.
