DID YOU USE THE LAST OF THE PRINTER PAPER AND NEGLECT TO INFORM ANYONE TO BUY MORE?

NO, I DON'T EVEN USE THAT PRINTER. I USE THE ONE IN THE LAB.

IF YOU AREN'T GUILTY, WHY ARE YOU BEING SO DEFENSIVE?

I'M NOT BEING DEFENSIVE.

I'M JUST TELLING YOU THE FACTS.

AND THERE YOU GO AGAIN, BEING DEFENSIVE. WHY CAN'T YOU ADMIT YOU WERE WRONG?

CAN YOU TEACH ME THE PROPER WAY TO BEHAVE WHEN I KNOW I'M RIGHT AND YOU'RE WRONG?

AND BY ANY CHANCE DID YOU USE THE LAST OF THE PAPER AND TELL NO ONE?

STOP MOVING THE GOAL POSTS.

AND THERE IT IS.
