    Yes yes, I take you to hotel. Nice hotel. After eat.

    “So we go to eat now?”

    Yes yes. After see orphans. You want not make orphans sad? They sleep early. Cant visit later.

    “No- Yes- I mean, we can’t visit the orphans now. Maybe another day. Please take me to this hotel.”

    Oh, that hotel very bad. No give tips to driver. Road very bumpy. Bad for car. Must pay extra for car damage. You no worry! I take you good place! Orphan manager know very good place, very close. I ask him.

    “No! Can’t you take me directly where I asked you?”

      “Taxi!! Good morning, please take me to this school.”

      Certainly. First we go to condom shop.

      “What?! No! Why would I want that!”

      How I know what you want? You tick, “no personalised ads.” So I not personalise.

      “Take me to this school, directly. No detours. No adverts. And you will take Republic credits.”

      What, you think you’re some sort of Jedi?
