 | Nice seeing you again, John! Unfortunately I have some bad news. |  |
|
 | Uh oh- I won't be (despondent) for the next week when you're finished, will I? |  |
|
|
|
|
|
 | Well... not to be (deprecating) or (daunting), but you didn't (corroborate) your story, so it wasn't (credible). |  |
|
 | This is (deterring)... |  |
|
|
|
|
|
 | Like I said, maybe I'm being too (cynical), but perhaps you (curtailed) the story too much. |  |
|
 | Alright. Thanks for being so (cordial) about it. |  |
