Leader: Alright now! All here and accounted for? Susan?

Susan: Here, sir!

Leader: Actually it’s ma’am, but regardless, your presence noted. Dorothy?

Dorothy: Here we are, here we are, here we are!

Leader: Uhhhhhhh, perhaps a simple “Present” would do the job,

Susan: Excuse me, sir!

Leader: Ma’am.

Susan: I really prefer not being called ma’am if you don’t mind sir.

Dorothy: Getting it done, getting it done, getting it done.

Susan: If I may be so bold, exactly what are we about to be getting done? Sir!

Leader: The task at hand, that’s what!

Dorothy: Getting the task at hand done? Mmmmm. Interesting. Mind telling me . . what will it take?

Leader: Take? Well just let me tell you, it will take more than you can likely imagine. First and foremost: authority....
