But--but--but, you said you were leaving, never to return!

Ted: Dougal! What did I tell you about NOT starting arguments?

Dougal: I dunno, Ted. What did you tell me about NOT starting
arguments?

Ted: Grr! I told you NOT to start arguments. That means, don't say
ANYTHING controversial or antagonistic.

Dougal: No problem, Ted.

Ted: OK, try again. But remember - nothing controversial or
antagonistic. Got that?

Dougal: What's all that then Ted? Controversial and antagonistic? It
sounds like something those mad fellers say in church. You know, when
they're screaming atcha, loads of nonsense abbout Hellfire and
treacle.

Ted: Look, forget the feckin' controversy and antagonism. Just be NICE
and POLITE.

Dougal: Oh, I'm widja now, Ted. Just be nice and polite.

Ted: Yes! That's it! Nice and polite.....

Dougal: So Len, tell us all about that fake signature business; you
know, when you accused Ted here of syphoning of church funds for his
summer holidays. Or what about that church of yours - tell us why the
common people aren't allowed to vote for a pope ---

Len: Don't feckin' call me Len!

TED: DOUGAL! YE FECKIN' EJIT!<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
