 * Do you see those clouds?


 * I see they are quite black, and from their general aspect I apprehend we shall soon have a tremendous thunderstorm.

 * Then, my dear Sir, you are "aiming" at bringing about a thunderstorm?


 * What do you mean? I have nothing to do with it—it is coming, it is there already!
