- Here he is, Cottinelli. How's it going? A cordial but somewhat anonymous greeting, I'm not exposing myself.
- Ah, he asked how's it going? Could it have a meaning? Better to stick to generalities. Well, like this, and you?
- I'm doing pretty well, thank you. I want to see how he behaves based on this statement of mine, actually I should add, I can't complain, I.
- Did you see? He put the 'I' at the end, it's not a coincidence, you know, I can't complain, I. Which could also mean, what about you? I need to defend myself, a polite response, but ambiguous in tone. I'm very happy, extremely happy.
- Ouch, he's getting to me. But he could also be genuinely happy, I don't know. Anyway, I can only have this experience of him, which is structured on two points: when I said I was well, he thought that I said I'm well because I'm really okay, let's call it case A, or, let's call it case B, he thought I'm doing a bit poorly, but I said I was well. On the other hand, he said, I'm extremely happy, I need to tell him something.
