"Aik Zardari sab peh bhari is what I say."
"There is a higher power than Zardari sahib..."
"Indeed there is a higher power than all of us, and need I add nothing happens in this world without its sanction - whether it is Medina ki riyasat or simply administration a la Pakistani style, you know of Pakistanis, by Pakistanis and for Pakistanis..."
"Don't be facetious."
"What do you mean? Don't you know that Allah is watching over all of us and nothing happens without His approval..."
"Let's not be deliberately obtuse, Zardari sahib, given a choice between keeping the Sindh government or replacing the Senate Chairman is hardly going to support a replacement when the replacement will not change matters at all if you know what I mean..."

"The opposition in Riyasat-e-Pakistan is only emboldened when it has some support, which it doesn't right now, and its leverage is therefore severely limited..."
"Support from a higher power?"

"That's Plan B my friend and apart from the Ministry of Finance everyone else has a Plan B."
"Not true, Hafeez Sheikh's Plan B is to leave the country as and when he is displaced."
"That's replaced not displaced."
"You say potato and I say potaaato."
