Man: Hi, you have a scanner, don't you?

Woman: Hi, yes. Why?

Man: Can I come in and scan a photo of Caesar? He ran away last night and hasn't been back since.

Woman: Are you talking about Pete's dog?

Man: Yeah! I thought that was clear.

Woman: You know I hate that dog. Why would I want to help him?

Man: What's wrong with Caesar? He's never done anything to you!

Woman: Except biting my little sister so hard that she needed twelve stitches and was left

terrified of dogs.

Man: Well, then think of how you could help protect people by helping us find him.

Woman: What are you going to put on the poster; "Vicious! Shoot to kill!"?

Man: Can I come in and use your scanner then?

Woman: Oh, alright! If you let me call the animal shelter and tell them to put him down as soon as they find him.

Man: Animal shelters! We didn't think of those!

Woman: Why are you losing your head over this?

Man: Pete's gorgeous sister is all dishevelled and worried about this.
