"Oh dear dear me!"
"What?"
"The news would embarrass our Prime Minister and his Deputy Dar."
"In your dreams my friend, nothing but nothing will embarrass those two."
"Your Zardi colours are showing."
"And what are those colours?"
"They used to be red and black but now I reckon they are more yellow - you know like saffron."
"A very expensive spice indeed, but I am not a Zardi."
"Ah you are a Khanzadeh, hunh!"
"I have developed a headache with the fast pace of change."
"Any change is good in this country - I mean we have no electricity, no gas, no..."
"What makes you think change would be for the better, I mean the supply demand gap could worsen, didn't that happen after Zardari sahib's party lost the federal government?"
"It's those dratted..."
"No, I don't want any reason I just stated a fact."

"See change is a double edged sword in this country but anyway when I expressed concern earlier I was referring to the decline in foreign direct investment from July to January 2015 by 1.4 percent. I mean the foreign tours of the PM and the deputy PM to lure foreign investors and..."
"You know the two have not even been able to convince their progeny to do business in Pakistan so how could they possibly succeed in luring foreign investors?"
"Ah you are being facetious today."
