       <Now do you believe me when I say the entire race is depraved>?  Interrogative, stalwart proposition, biased conclusion, and superiority

       <You still cannot condemn the entire population for having one philanderer>  Passive declaration, defiance

       <Then I suppose their society finds it acceptable to be lying under two different women in two days’ time while indebted to yet a third one>?  Overly agreeable concurrence, brusquely feigned deference, condescension, and blatant sarcasm

       <I am sure there is some explanation for this>  Calm declaration

       <If it needs explanation, then it is wrong>  Didactic quotation, bias, and superciliousness

       <You know that is not what I think>  Denial, irritation, and patronizing reminder

       <Are you willing to concede that he could have murdered comrade PuPu>?  Stalwart declaration, self-assuredness, and accusation with finality

       <…>  Pause and reluctance

       <…>  Obstinacy, anticipation, and implied, imputed challenge

       <Fine>  Grudgingly conceded accordance
