YAY Brenda!
Hey, we gave you a plan that should have your general door area clear in short order, and you wouldn't play along.
Your plan involved me talking to them, and since the problem is that they never ever shut up, how does that help?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
and since the problem is that they never ever shut up, how does that help?
Well, assuming that the problem you want solved is them not shutting up, talking to them in such a way that they shut up seems a better alternative than not talking to them in a way that they continue to never shut up.
Plus, looming.

This is all very complicated.
Can you come up and act menacing instead?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I think Lee is ignoring me.

I am not.
I just forgot to add that I would dearly love to buy one of those signs, especially the last one.
It's ita's fault, somehow.

Oh lord. Just got off the phone with ex-boss. She's selling her condo (we weren't talking about that, it's very not my style, though gorgeous). Some people were coming to view at a time when she couldn't so her boyfriend, a fabulous pastry chef, was going to let them in and out.
But he showed up dressed all scruffy, so she made him pretend to be the handyman! The non-english speaking handyman. She is something else, all right. He was fine with it - in addtion playing along and not saying more than bonjour (he does have a very thick accent), he put on headphones to make it seem like he couldn't hear anyway, and busied himself with a project.
Of course, in addition to listening in on what the viewers (father buying a place for his daughter) said, he put out a plate of his own chocolates so he could hear their reaction to thoseas well.

That's just a French farce movie waiting to happen, that is.

Totally. Her life is kind of that.
(Oh, and they lost the apartment. When she moved in she had a gorgeous gas fireplace put in, which really makes the whole place. The father was all "What a waste of space. You could put a cabinet there."
Let that be a warning to other prospective househunters. 'Ware the hot French handyman, 'ware!)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
In fact, if you SEE the hot french handyman call me right away.
