Hello, there! Slow going?
Look, I don’t mean to be rude, but this is not as easy as it looks, so I’d appreciate it if you wouldn’t distract me.
Sorry.
Thank you.
I do not suppose you could speed things up?
If you’re in such a hurry, you could lower a rope or find something useful to do.
I could do that. I’ve got some rope up here. But, I do not think that you would accept my help, since I am waiting around to kill you.
That does put a damper on our relationship.
But, I promise I will NOT kill you until we finish the counting.
That’s very comforting. But, I’m afraid you’ll just have to wait.
I hate waiting. I could give you my word as a politician.
No good. I’ve known too many politicians.
Is there any way you’ll trust me?
Nothing comes to mind.
And so we wait.
Stay safe
