DIALOG 29

BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY

1--There's no reason on earth why we should stay
   here.
2--Yes, there is! Somebody's got to keep an eye on
   things.
3--That's what I think. Otherwise this whole project
   could go wrong.
1--I doubt that. It looks to me as if everything is off
   to a good start. I don't think there needs to be
   any more supervision.
2--It's better to be safe than sorry.
3--I agree. Sometimes being cautious is the best way
   to go.
1--All right. All right. I'm outvoted two to one.
   So we'll stay.
