    THAT'S QUITE A DIFFICULT QUESTION TO ANSWER.

    MAY YOU PLEASE LET ME THINK ABOUT IT FOR A SECOND?

    TO BE HONEST, I DON'T KNOW VERY MUCH ABOUT THE ISSUE.

    THAT'S AN INTERESTING POINT. I HADN'T THOUGHT ABOUT THAT BEFORE

    I'M AFRAID I CAN'T TELL YOU MUCH ABOUT IT.

    TALKING ABOUT THAT ISSUE, I START TO WONDER WHETER ...

    I AM STILL TRYING TO MAKE UP MY MIND ON THAT MATTER ...


    When you feel doubtful ...
    I'M NOT SURE BUT I THINK ...

    I'M NOT COMPLETELY SURE, BUT I THINK ...

    PERHAPS ...

    IT PROBABLY ...

    I SUPPOSE IT WOULD PROBABLY BECAUSE ...

    WELL, AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED ...


    To conclude ...
    IN A NUTSHELL ...

    WHAT IT COMES DOWN TO IS ...

    EVENTUALLY, ALL MY ARGUMENTS ...

    RETURNING TO THE POINT ABOUT... MY CONCLUSION IS ...
