"Nah nah na phooh phooh."

"What are you? Six years old? Besides waving your entire palm left to right in my face - that makes you what three years old?" "Hey, waving the palm from left to right is also the hallmark of illiterate mothers in law venting their anger, well perhaps more jealousy, at their daughters in law."

"Those are village women, in the cities we froth at the mouth."

"Give me an example?"

"Well, Ishaq Dar has repeatedly told the nation that the 40-page detailed affidavit that he himself wrote implicating his samdhi (their children are married to each other) is trash as per a court verdict issued when the party ruled Punjab, and yet horrible people like you and The Khan..."

"Calm down, and yes I agree with Dar sahib - he has told us so often but you know isn't this the first Nawala affidavit to ever surface, other Nawalas who were in jail never wrote an affidavit, hang on I think this is the first affidavit to surface even where the Zardis are concerned..."

"It is one of a kind and that reflects the boldness of Dar sahib, he has shown a political resilience that no one else in the Nawala group has shown and you need to appreciate it but anyway the reason why I was compelled to say nah nah nah phooh phooh was Mian sahib's refusal to be cowed down, read change his usual plans, just because there was an attack in Parachinar killing more than 20 and the Panama papers hearing is ongoing, he went to Davos where he told anyone who would listen that his samdhi has done wonders with the economy and then off to London to stay in the Panama flats..."

"Who was listening to him in Davos?"

"The people he took with him, I have gone on the Davos website and nothing about Mian sahib. But one thing about these dratted terrorists. They always launch an attack when Mian sahib is on a foreign tour and I say internal forces..."

"Oh good heavens... besides those silly Swiss don't know the difference between a diamond and a zircon and they are not the Panama flats they are the Mayfair flats..."

"You say potato the Trump way and I say potato the Cameron way?"

"Cameron is gone...oh I see he had a Panama stash but he did explain it away with documents and..."

"As I said you say potato the Trump way and I say..."

"I give up."
