Excerpt C

[following upon Frank's initial account and Dave's initial response]

Dave: But now go back to your playing a tape that you thought would be okay. It wasn't as though you consulted with Laura to see if it was okay.

Frank: Notice, Dave, how you're manipulating the conversation to see if you could go back to what you wanted.

Dave: And she might have been pissed at that.
