"Did anyone tell Ijaz Shah that the Maulana and his marchers are still in Sindh and that's a long way from Islamabad?"
"Hey, how long does it take to take a flight and land in Islamabad?"
"It may take longer for the Maulana on PIA than to use the road network to get to Islamabad! Besides, it would be too expensive for all the marchers to travel by air."
"Hey back off, Ishrat Husain has drafted a plan to improve all public sector entities' performance, and while he hasn't shared the draft with you and I - we are too stupid to understand his brilliance..."
"True, though he has told the accountability bureau hands off bureaucrats and hand off private sector industrialists; and you can't even begin to understand Hafeez Sheikh's brilliance and this in spite of the fact that he has held an important portfolio not once, not twice but three times..."

"Yeah, yeah, but what the Maulana taking Air Blue? That belongs to a former prime minister, a PML-N stalwart...."

"You mean other than disrupting the capital yourself?"
"Yep; tell me what is the out of box thinking that would contain Maulana sahib other than to arrest the second tier leaders of his party and...and containers and..."
"But the guy is still in Sindh for Pete's sake and...and you have made a deal with the marchers, a deal that would contain them many, many, miles from the red zone and..."
"That's a lesson the administration learned in 2014. Agreements are not hadith and..."
"Hmmmmm, I am at a loss of words."
