him (angrily): "mmm mumble angry hungover slur THIS IS THE DAWNING OF OUR LOVE management mumble last laugh, no?"
me: "yeh, something like that."
him (surprised): "no but surely mummble I FEEEEELL YOOOOU mumble knows how the land lies?"
me (stumped): "mebbes aye. mebbes naw."
him: "pah!" [stomps off]
