Problem I see here is with the word 'got' you have to be careful. It is used incorrectly now, and so often. I have to go, now.

I have to go, now.
Not "I got to go, now."
I got a reply in the mail.
When they won, I got really excited.
I'm not really sure what you need. Could you please be more specific?

Here is a short story. Perhaps you could do a skit.
I was just getting to know the new boss and discovering that he was really hard to get on with. When I was chatting with my friend on the phone he rudely told me to hang up and get on with my work. So I told my friend "I've got to go now. I'll get in touch with you later after work."

I'd start with get in touch with and end with get rid of, sandwiching the more difficult one in between!

Google "get in touch with" (with the quotation marks), then "get on with", then "get rid of". You may have to try those with "gets", "getting", "got", and "
