EU Thank you Mr Tsipras for your bailout
proposals. On the face of it, these proposals look even more draconian than the proposals we put
to you a couple of weeks ago.
Tsipras ...and we totally rejected your proposals
EU …and then we withdrew them
Tsipras…and then we voted on the
withdrawn proposals in a referendum and rejected them
EU… and now you are proposing to us these
same withdrawn rejected proposals, only making them even tougher on yourselves?
Tsipras exactly. That'll show you
EU But..will you get these through your parliament?
Tsipras Oh sure. They don't know what the hell's going on. And neither do I.
EU Well, look, fine, whatever. We will accept your new tougher old rejected withdrawn proposals to us which
were ours in the first place.
Here's that redraft you wanted Mr Tsipras
Tsipras Get IN!! Victory for the little
people over the EU apprarachiks!! Well, I must be off…
Mr Tsipras shrugs on his jacket and strolls towards
the door

forgetting something?

EU Same thing
Tsipras (walking around and waving his arms in a
conciliatory gesture OK, OK, look, I’VE done some
stupid things…YOU'VE done some stupid things…I suggest we let
bygones be bygones. I tell you what, I'm a reasonable man,
and I wouldn't make this offer to just anyone. Seriously, they're gonna KILL me back home (laughs nervously). So here's what I'll do, and it's only because I kinda like you guys, I’ll split the difference. I’ll give you 50%. No, no, don't thank me. It's the least I can do, so waddya...
