Kadir: Stop that! Stop snickering! Gabriel Voltaire is an author of great acclaim. You should show a little reverence.
Melissa: Yes, but he seems to have a bad case of stage fright. I know it?s an honor to hear him speak, but it?s hard to show reverence when the man is sweating like a pig!
Kadir: He?s not sweating like a pig. He?s just talking passionately about his writing. I, for one, appreciate his level of dedication to his work.
Melissa: I admire his work, too, but he?s making a fool of himself. Really, who can pay attention to what he?s saying when he?s stuttering like that.
Kadir: Unlike you, I can listen to the genius of his words without worrying about a little stuttering.
Melissa: The man is making a spectacle of himself. I think he needs to stick to writing and give up public speaking.
Kadir: Shh! That?s enough. I won?t hear another word said against him.
Melissa: Whatever you say. I?ll leave you to your hero worship. For me, enough is enough!
