"Sometimes I get so angry."
"I don't blame you, I mean if you are to let bygones be bygones then you can't physically attack provincial assembly members even if you feel there is a legitimate reason to do so."
"Agreed, you must allow the courts to decide. If we can insist on a UN inquiry into the death of Benazir Bhutto then why can't we hold an inquiry into allegations against Arbab...and personally I don't see the sense of requesting the UN to hold the inquiry...I mean it isn't as if the UN is particularly adept at holding such inquiries especially as an autopsy is likely to be disallowed."
"Maybe the Jiyalas want the inquiry elevated if you will."
"Maybe, but that is not why I was so angry."
"If it's about the wheat crisis the food department officials and the millers are busy blaming each other. I am not quite sure who is really to blame."
"Maybe, a bit of both and if I recall correctly Shahbaz Sharif had wanted to deal with the official side of the, shall we say, profiteering during his last stint as Chief Minister by disbanding the food department."
"But he failed because of organised resistance."
"Yes, but maybe he can cut down on its responsibilities slowly and then reduce staff."
"Ah yes, a slow death, infinitely more acceptable."
"I guess but that is not why I am angry either."
"Is it about load shedding?"
"Yes."
"Why don't you use the same threat as the eunuchs of Muzaffargarh."
"What is that?"
"To dance in protest outside the utility company's office."
"What if the company officers begin to like the free show?"
"That's always a danger in this country: we love anything that is free."
"The politicians to date have called it something else as have the bureaucrats."
"What?"
"Perks of the job."
"Don't be facetious."
