"hahah right, but no one really likes to drive a Mini, it's like having..."
"Oh, just remembered, don't forget to give me that money you owe me."
"...sex with a midget, damn you idiot you just aborted my joke!"

"Now you have to say it"
"No way, forget it"

"Ok, jesus, you should try to say "sudo give me a beer"
*silence*
