Roberta: You know, my birthday is coming up.

John: Yes, I know. Spit it out. What are you driving at?
Roberta: I was just thinking that some people might not know what to get me for such an important birthday, since some people don’t like to put a lot of thought into presents.
John: What are you implying? Are you insinuating that I don’t get you good presents for your birthdays?
