I was going to have to let the last couple of people working with me go.

I've still got a couple of people to talk to tonight.

A couple of people from my department were in there with them.

I just wanted a couple of people in a room, and that would do me fine.

A couple of people said they could not read beyond that point.

There have been only a couple of people I can open up to.

I actually know a couple of people who'd like that.

A couple of people stopped to ask if I was all right.

Just a couple of people, very close, although she was certain there had been no one near only minutes before.

There were never more than a couple of people in the place.
