"How is Captain Safdar?"
"The poor guy is no longer in the forefront of PML-N politics if you know what I mean."
"He is still the first husband and focused on football right?"
"Football? Is that a game where we feature in world ranking at all?"
"Hey, by the grace of the Sharif administration our cricket team will not have any ranking by next elections and need I add Zardari sahib did the same for hockey so leave poor Captain Safdar alone - I mean the guy couldn't be that ambitious if he is focused on football, a sport where our ranking is probably as poor as... as... as our high ranking in the hours of loadshedding every day..."
"Well, that's good right, I mean considering he is the first son in law such a small ambition is in the national interest."
"I disagree."
"Well, if relatives of the guy with the power begin to have smaller ambitions then surely the country would benefit and..."
"I agree there but when I said I disagreed I meant to point out that Mian sahib's other son in law, Dar sahib's son, is now the first son in law."
"But... but... he doesn't even live in the country, doesn't pay taxes, doesn't..."
"So? It's all a matter of the heart if you know what I mean. Hey speaking of Main sahib his convoy on the way back from Murree over the weekend came under attack I heard."
"No, it wasn't under attack, it was just that a car had the temerity to try to overtake the convoy and thereby breached security and..."
"I don't understand? Did the convoy state in bold letters that the Prime Minister was in one of the cars?"
"Are you crazy? That would be a breach of security?"
"But then how was this over-taker to know that he was overtaking the PM's convoy? And why didn't they just close the roads?"
"You can't close an entire highway."
"But then you can't refer to it as a breach of security either. Mian sahib should begin to use a helicopter to go to Murree."
"Then you'll complain that he is using public money..."
"So he should pay for the fuel."
"That doesn't sound right either... maybe he can lure Jehangir Tareen..."
"Oh you are soooo bad."
