Saying No


Liang: I have a favor to ask. 


Christian 1: Uh oh, what is it? 


Liang: I’m doing a project for my class in culinary school and I need a volunteer to taste some of my creations. 


Christian: Not on your life. 


Liang: But, why? 


Christian: You don’t remember the last time I was your guinea pig? I was sick for two days. 


Liang: That was a stroke of bad luck. Come on, please. 


Christian: Count me out. No amount of pleading is going to change my mind. I bet I’m not the first person you’ve asked. 


Liang: Well, no. 


Christian: Who else has turned you down? 


Liang: Jacob said no. 


Christian: I bet he said something stronger than no. 


Liang: He said that he would let me cook food for him over his dead body. 


Christian: That’s what I thought. Did you ask Mele, too? 


Liang: Yes, and she said she’d rather not. 


Christian: Who’s next on your list of victims, I mean candidates? 


Liang: You’re my last resort. If you won’t do it, then I’m sunk. 


Christian: The answer is still no, but I know someone who won’t turn up his nose at your cooking. 


Liang: Who? 


Christian: Come here, Fido!
