I thought walking away was probably a better idea than "you and your friend can go **** yourselves".
Generally, talk that involves "if you just tried hard enough you would..." is crap. The world isn't a magical fairyland where if you really focused and worked hard enough you could get whatever you wanted, despite how much some people seem to think they live there.
