Fine, let's get this over with. Ask your petty questions. => part_1 - Greetings, sir. You may do well to lower your tone if you expect my help. Phil Fossa: [#irritated] Are you threatening me ?? How unpolite is that ?! I'll sue you ! => part_0 - Is that how you speak to your students ? Phil Fossa: [#puzzled] Well, obviously yes ? That's how you teach stuff to unruly youngsters. Through sheer authority and charisma. => part_0 - Big words for such a small dude... Phil Fossa: [#angry] The size of the body does not beget the size of the mind, you uneducated wretch ! Beware the anger of the cultivated intellect ! => part_0 ~ part_0 - Alright alright, let's chill. I just need to ask you some questions before I release you. Please bear with me.

Are there people conspiring against you, or threatening you ? Phil Fossa: [#neutral] Yeah, yeah. It's been more than 40 years, I'm used to it.
