"What do you reckon? Was it indicative of rats leaving a sinking ship or was it part of a strategy to delay the trial."
"A lawyer is never a rat - he or she could be Wile E Coyote, remember the cartoon, attempting to eat Roadrunner, a fast bird, in every episode and not quite succeeding..."
"Hey, John Q Public reckons that Nawaz Sharif's lawyer is doing a Wile E Coyote, and if that's what the general perception is then how can you credit Wile E Coyote's cleverness? Besides the road runner in this case is the... the... establishment or the judiciary but my question is why are you using these Anglo-Saxon names? We are living in the IRP - the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and we don't have middle names either so this is not applicable."
"What about Shahid Khaqan Abbasi?"
"Three names, that's why he will remain an interim prime minister!"
"An interim prime minister is a caretaker prime minister and he wasn't a caretaker..."
"Yes he was, because he took great care that Nawaz Sharif and Daughter did not suffer a loss of protocol once they were no longer resident in the Prime Minister's House. This meant that he could not even move his family to the PM House..."
"Though he used the House for his son's wedding anniversary."
"Hey stop. Your upright caretaker prime minister used the PM protocol to go visit his parent's grave."
"Love this: an attack follows not a rebuttal but a frontal attack - no defense strategy in our nation's psyche, no wonder once our cricket team starts to lose it's always a rout. Anyway one question did Nawaz Sharif's Wile E Coyote reimburse him the fees he charged as he has left the case mid way and..."
"I am not sure he took any fees. He has a long association with the Sharifs - the Junior Sharif made him Advocate General of Punjab though he resigned in 2011 reportedly as he was not happy with appointments made in his office and wanted salaries of his staff raised but relations did not sour - he was the advocate hired by the Punjab government in the Model Town case arguing that findings are kept secret in terrorism cases and hence the findings of the Baqir Najafi report should not be an exception. And that its release to the public would lead to a media trial parallel to trial proceedings already pending before other courts so......"
"What does that have to do with returning fees for a job not complete?"
"The PPP lawyers don't charge fees from their leaders, I mean that fellow Khosa didn't even charge fees from Ayyan Ali."
"Nawaz Sharif needs to work on his lawyers! They are no good, leave him in the lurch and charge fees."
"Three times lucky, hunh."
"Don't be facetious; anyway there is an argument that a lawyer defends his client irrespective of whether he is guilty or innocent so there!"
"There is indeed but then fee reimbursement..."
"Oh shush, any fees would have been petty cash for the Sharifs."
"But the Sharifs don't like paying for any service sub-sector in Pakistan."
"Oh shush."
