I hear that the water is contaminated. Inconvenient is a very lenient word.

Ev. Are you ready to check the rest of the city yet?

You managed to get off the hook? Sheesh. Well, that's a good thing, I guess.

As ready as you are. This building certainly isn't giving me any results.

[impolitical]

You know me better than that.

I'm outside.

[unbewildered]

Know you better than what? The water got infected with...stuff or whatever, and you only drink water. So my first conclusion is that you should be keeled over somewhere right now.

Be a little patient, why don't you! I'll be right out.

[impolitical]

Bottled water seems to be fine. And you could be suffering the same just by washing your face.

[unbewildered]

...let's not talk about that. I'm not very happy with the fact that I can't wash up. It's only a good thing I took a shower last night.

[impolitical]

We won't then.

Are you ready yet?

[unbewildered]

God, you sound like I did a couple weeks ago! Give me a second to actually, you know, get out of this room.

[impolitical]

The key - well, the key...

I'll show you when you get out here.

[unbewildered]

What? The key?!

Geez, say these things in the first place!

[impolitical]

...well, if you get out here, I can explain.

[unbewildered]

Okay, okay--God! I'm out, I'm out. Let's do this.
