"Ok"
"Why would you do that?!"
"What"
"We've made restaurants cheaper we have to save the economy!"
"Ok"
"Can't believe you people would go to restaurants"
"What?!"
"You have to go back to the office"
"ok"

10pm pub closing not good enough. People will just go on to house parties. Need a mandatory 10:45pm National Crisis Bedtime. Teeth done by 10:40, light off 10:44. No you can't have a glass of water you should have thought of that before.
