“Well, I’m perfectly willing to accomodate you, but I have to know the particular threat I’m under. I mean, for all I know you’ve got a hot dog in there. Not particularly threatening, that. Wouldn’t you agree? Now if you’ll just see your way to actually showing me what’s in there, or at least describing it in a convincing manner, we can get back to the robbery bit. I figure you wouldn’t actually shoot me straight away, assuming that’s a gun of some sort, else we wouldn’t be having this conversation, what?”

It’s hard to imagine the conversation;
“Give me your money or else.”
“Or else what, exactly?”
“Or you’ll be sorry.”
“What’s in the bag, sock, whatever?”
“Just never you mind! Give me the damned money!”
“Well, I’m perfectly willing to accomodate you, but I have to know the particular threat I’m under. I mean, for all I know you’ve got a hot dog in there. Not particularly threatening, that.

…and so on.
