“Normally...”
“Do you...”
“Sorry, go ahead.”
“I'm sorry, I didn't mean to
interrupt you.”
“That's fine. What were you going to
say?”
“It wasn't anything important.
Please, continue.”
“Come on, you obviously wanted to say
something.”
“I'm more interested in hearing what
you have to say.”
“I can't even remember what it was
now, so speak up, get it off your chest.”
“But it was nothing. I'm embarrassed
to even mention it.”
“I think you have to. Actually, I
insist. Say it.”
“I am going to respectfully decline.”
“Well, somebody has to say something.
How are we going to move forward out of this ridiculous situation? We
have to make a choice. I am going to be the interrogator. That's my
choice. I will not stand down. You must be the confessor. You must.
It's the only way. It's all up to you now. Speak. Speak!”
“Do you...”
“I changed my mind. I was going to
say, 'Normally people are quick to point out other people's
differences, but I say, who cares? Can't we evolve past that
already?'”
“Do you think you could just shut up
and play the game?”
