"You referred to the two Tapies' yesterday - one of France and the other of Karachi."
"Yes and as I informed you yesterday your statement was dripping of mala fide intent."
"So take me to court. Ooops, sorry I forget that's your line isn't it?"
"What did you say?"
"I mean isn't it the PPP line that if you have any reservations about any of their leaders you go to court. And given that the federal government controls not only the investigative branch namely the police as well as the prosecuting branch namely the attorney generals office shouldn't the onus reside with the government?"
"Rubbish, the onus rests with different institutions given different individuals for example President Musharraf's return is reportedly being negotiated with Nawaz Sharif and the man who is doing the negotiating is someone Mr Sharif simply cannot ignore, the Saudi King."
"You simply side track me all the time, I wasn't wanting a political debate with you, all I wanted to say was that there is another Tapi that we did not discuss yesterday."
"Surely you are not referring to the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (Tapi) gas pipeline proposed project that remains un-implementable what with terrorism in the region, conflicting Russian and the US geopolitical considerations and then..."
"But it's a Tapi."
"Yes it is, though the spellings of each Tapie are different."
"Indeed, but going back to France preliminary investigation has commenced against former President Nicholas Sarkozy for allegedly duping the senile heiress of L'Oreal to give money to his presidential bid and..."
"I warn you not to proceed further or else..."
"You can make any comparison you want but I will not be threatened."
"I will take you to court for defamation and..."
"Our defamation laws are kind of not that great."
"I will get you, just you wait."
"Who are you spending your time with these days? Kaira or Rehman Malik? Your threats do not matter to me."
"That's the beauty of democracy, so vote PPP."
"I give up."
