Quotes:

Man: I'd like to have an argument, please.
Argument Clinic Recptionist: Certainly, sir, have you been here before?
Man: No. This will be my first time.
Argument Clinic Recptionist: I see. Well, do you want to have just one argument or were you thinking of taking a course?
Man: Well, what is the cost?
Argument Clinic Recptionist: Well, it's £1 for a five minute argument, but only £8 for a course of ten.
Man: Well, I think it would be best if I started off with just the one and then see how it goes.
Argument Clinic Recptionist: Fine. I'll see who's free at the moment. Mr. Bakley's free, but he's a little bit conciliatory. Ah yes, try Mr. Barnard, room 12.
