"Look at the glass as half full."

"That doesn't answer my question."

"That's his strength no doubt."

"I see, but remember Dawn leaks and the withdrawal of a tweet with many saying that it reflected Sharif's strength."

"And where is Sharif today?"

"In London, wining and dining at the most expensive..."

"He aint the head of government no more and that is his number one wish."

"And number two wish..."

"Let me count the number of..."

"Oh shush, be serious."
