SCENARIO 2

- "You know? Dark-skinned lad going out with Becca? Got that red Charger?"

SCENARIO 1, in a normal country
- “Yeah Enda got me the tickets for the county final, sound fella.”
- "Who's Enda again?"
- "You know the fella who works in the credit union, the Chinese lad"
- "Grand so."

SCENARIO 2, in an unnamed country
- "HEY GUY YOU KNOW THAT KUTTER GUY?"
- “WHAT?”
- "YOU KNOW? DARK-SKINNED DUDE GOING OUT WITH BECCA? GOT THE RED CHARGER?"
- "DARK-SKINNED DUDE, ARE YOU FOR REAL, ARE YOU CECIL RHODES RIGHT NOW"
