Security officer: Excuse me, sir, but this is a (restricted) area. Only (authorized) personnel are permitted.

Carl: I just want to take a (quick) look. Is this really where the president will be speaking?

Security officer: I can neither (confirm) nor deny that, sir. Please step aside.

Carl: What if I have press credentials? Could I get in then?

Security officer: Only if you’ve been screened by (security). Really, sir, I must ask you to leave this area. It’s (off-limits) to you.

Carl: Couldn’t I just hang around and watch while people arrive? I won’t say a word.

Security officer: No, and if you (persist), I’ll have to have you shown out.

Carl: I’m not causing any trouble. I’m an American citizen and this is a free country! I can stand wherever I want to.

Security officer: Not on private (property). Jim, could you please escort this gentleman off the premises?

Carl: Hey, this is a (travesty)! I’m going to file a formal protest!

Security officer: You do that. Just do it off the (premises).
