"Guy Ritchie has got around 60 million pounds."
"Two questions: who is this guy and how did he make that kind of money?"
"He is Madonna's husband who incidentally is a super star in the record industry."
"I know who Madonna is. I may not like Bush and his cohorts but I do like American music."
"I see."
"I wonder how the Maulanas would view this proclivity of yours?"
"I don't care how they view it. The fact remains that American pop culture is almost global."
"So we have global war on terror, global warming and now global American culture."
"Don't be facetious. Anyway Madonna's husband Ritchie got 60 million pounds as a divorce settlement."
"They say Heather Mills, ex-wife of Sir Paul McCartney of the former Beatles, is extremely angry at this deal. She only got half that amount when she was divorced and needless to say Paul McCartney is even wealthier than Madonna."
"Ah, it's all in how you argue a case."
"I agree."
"And it is very important who you marry for long term financial security."
"So who can Pakistan wed for its long term financial security?"
"Well, our leaders have been trying to wed the US for so long but somehow she has always been a fickle mistress."
"Extremely fickle."
"So we should go for China?"
"I would if I was a leader, but then I am not."
"China didn't veto the UN Security Council vote on declaring some of our organisations as 'terrorist' this time around."
"President Zardari must turn his full attention on China before China too abandons us."
"I agree."
