|
|
111
|
Oga,
don't block the AC
|
|
112
|
Shééé,

|
|
113
|
So,
what are you supposed to do next?
|
|
114
|
Oga!
|
|
115
|
Bros!
|
|
116
|
Oga
Sir!
|
|
117
|
Chairman!
|
|
118
|
What
kind of thing is this?
|
|
119
|
You
should have known that by now!
|
|
120
|
You
have to pay $200 or nothing will happen
|
|
121
|
We
don't do that here!
|
|
122
|
Oga,
this is an office environment!
|
|
123
|
Can't
you see the signboard?
|
|
124
|
You
too go and read our flyer
|
|
125
|
That
is what I've been saying since morning!
|
|
126
|
At
least you should know our tarrif by now!
|
|
127
|
I've
told you our systems are down
|
|
128
|
What
else do you want me to tell you?
|
|
129
|
How
do you expect me to give you the balance? I just told you our systems are
down
|
|
130
|
Can't
you do it yourself?
|
|
131
|
Oga
Sir, what you said doesn't make sense!
|
|
132
|
Now
see what you've caused
|
|
133
|
I
told you to wait here
|
|
134
|
Don't
tell me you don't know your account number!
|
|
135
|
So
whose fault is it?
|
|
136
|
Don't
you know how to spell your name?
|
|
137
|
So
you mean you can't do it. As simple as it is!
|
|
138
|
Just
go back and read the instructions again
|
|
139
|
We
don't allow that here!
|
|
140
|
You
did not win. Simple!
|
|
141
|
If
you like pay, if you like don't pay. It's your business.
|
|
142
|
It's
none of my business!
|
|
143
|
How
is that my business?
|
|
144
|
Let's
say you listened to me, all these won't have happened
|
|
145
|
I
don't care what you think!
|
|
146
|
That's
the policy. Simple!
|
|
147
|
If
you like you can call the MD. That's the new rule!
|
|
148
|
You
just have to wait!
|
|
149
|
If
you can't wait, then go!
|
|
150
|
I've
said my own, you can do what you like!
|
|
151
|
I'm
not the one that took your money! It's the new rule!
|
|
152
|
Listen
to me first!
|
|
153
|
After
that, what are you supposed to do next?
|
|
154
|
Let
me finish!
|
|
155
|
I
have finished with you!
|
|
156
|
I am
through with you!
|
|
157
|
There
is nothing else I have to say more than that!
|
|
158
|
That
is all I have to say!
|
|
159
|
Oga,
what is that your name again?
|
|
160
|
Remind
me that your name again
|
|
161
