      “Taxi!! Good morning, please take me to this school.”

      Certainly. First we go to condom shop.

      “What?! No! Why would I want that!”

      How I know what you want? You tick, “no personalised ads.” So I not personalise.

      “Take me to this school, directly. No detours. No adverts. And you will take Republic credits.”

      What, you think you’re some sort of Jedi?
