Safety Manager: Yes?
Safety Supervisor: Sorry to interrupt but haven't we gone over this many many times.

Friend 1: That sucks! You know, you really should install a good anti-virus program and keep it updated regularly. I can't stress the importance of being vigilant against viruses. You should also install very good anti-malware software ...
