Pauline: Oh, Peter, I'm really going to need your help with today's eReport.
Peter: Why do you say that, Pauline?
Pauline: Because, Peter, I've never eaten steak before.
Peter: What? Never?
Pauline: No, remember? I'm vegetarian.
Peter: Oh, yeah... but never?
Pauline: Growing up, my family was vegetarian, so no, I've never tasted steak.
