I. You got it, I want it.
Y. You can't have it. It's mine, it's not for you.
I. I know it's yours  but can't you at least share it with me?
Y. Why should I share it with you?
I. It will mean so much to me and I know you'll like it too.
Y. What make you think  I will like it?
I. You are a lovely, kind-hearty and giving person.
Y. I give what and when I want to give to who I want to
     have it.
I. I'll pay you to share it with me.
Y. Oh, you'll give me money?
I. Yes, I'll give you money.
Y. You must know that there are some things that money
    can't buy.
I. I guess I can't have it?
Y. You are right, you can't have it.

I. How do you go about trying to get what you want?  Do you beg, ask for pity, offer to pay or use manipulation to deceive the person to give you what you want?

Y. How do you go about  keeping what another person want to get from you? Do you use put-down, freeze, go away, say no, or some other form of manipulation?

I. and Y. Beware! The ways you go about trying to get what you want from another person or the ways you go about keeping what you have may be hazardous to your health. Manipulation can even be fatal.
