Friedel was not there. I'm trying to understand what you are saying. Do you mean
I made a loud statement in English deliberately directed at no one, confident
that everyone at the table either is not paying attention or doesn't understand,
but forgot that you are able to hear and understand me ? Or do you mean that I
was having a conversation with you ? Scratching my memory, I don't remember that
we talked at all during this dinner, except this: I asked you to who Shredder
lost in Paris, you didn't remember, end of conversation.

I have no idea what you mean by this. Actually I was trying to say that there
should be witnesses, but now that I think of this, your word against mine sounds
good enough for me Vincent.

I am also curious to know: Why am I supposed to prefer Ferret over Shredder ?
