I had to...for my kids, you know. guard: And what did you do before, pray? debtor: I worked when I could and did the best I could. guard: That is not good enough! You clearly lived beyond your means! debtor: I can understand that opinion, sir, but I believe my choice to feed my children is better than their starvation.

What makes you so sure they are not in the next cell? debtor: I know those ways of the world. But I can still hope. guard: Do you intend paying your debt? debtor: I will work off the debts given the opportunity, sir. That's never been a question. I know I owe these people.

#Person1#: Can we make you an offer? We would like to run the campaign for four extra weeks. #Person2#: Well, can we summarize the problem from my point of view? First of all, the campaign was late. It missed two important trade affairs. The ads also did not appear into key magazines. As a result, the campaign failed. Do you accept that summary of what happened? #Person1#: Well, the delay wasn't entirely our fault. You did in fact make late changes to the specifications of the advertisements. #Person2#: Uh, actually, you were late with the initial proposals so you have very little time and in fact, we only asked for small changes. #Person1#: Well whatever, can we repeat our offer to run the campaign for 4 extra weeks? #Person2#: That's not really the point.
