A: "Hyperbolus! You said you would be the greatest leader ever. But in three years you've accomplished just an ordinary amount."
Hyperbolus: "I'm sorry. I'm the worst leader in history."
A: "Aww, don't say that... Wait! You're doing it again! Stop exaggerating, Hyperbolus!"
Hyperbolus: "Agh! This is the hardest habit to break in all of existence!"
