When work goes wrong, sentence 2

Picture a kitchen in Adelaide: Dad comes off the phone pale and says "They're letting people go", and later that night the kids hear Mum and Dad talking quietly about saving money in case it's him.

Who acts: you, Dad, people, kids, Mum, up · What happens: picture, come off, say, let, go, hear · To what, where: kitchen, Adelaide, phone, Mum, money, Dad · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «When work goes wrong» of the adult life course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (you, Dad, people, kids), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
