-->'''Pepperidge''': Tell me, did you enjoy your double espresso this morning?
-->'''Clouseau''': How did you...
-->'''Pepperidge''': Your pupils are noticeably dilated.
-->'''Clouseau''': And will you be moving out of the Hotel Montmartre? They are doing construction at night around the Montmartre so as not to disturb daytime traffic. From your puffy eyes, I deduce you spent a sleepless night.
-->'''Pepperidge''': Speaking of traffic, are you enjoying your Smart car? Your trousers are wrinkled behind the knees.
