Tell me again why I should listen to you.
Tell me again why I should care.
You told me once before, but I’ve forgotten what you said. It was just too much to remember.
I’m busy and overwhelmed and late for something. (I’m always late for something.) I have forty-seven yet-to-be-done things on my To Do list and I still don’t know what we’re having for dinner.
What was it you wanted again?
I know you said you did something with somebody and I should really check it out because, because …
That’s the part I can’t recall.
Tell me again why I should care.
It’s not that I think you’re doing a lousy job. I actually think you’re pretty cool. It’s just that I have so much on my plate and there’s so little time in the day and I only have the energy to address the really important things.
Is your thing really important?
Tell me again why it’s important.
Tell me again why I should care.
I don’t mean to be rude and what you’re saying is fascinating, but do you think maybe we could just cut to the chase?
Are you trying to change the world?
Are you trying to change my world?
Really? My world?
Hang on.
Can you tell me more? What is it exactly that you do again?
