"I just want things to work properly."

Think about all the different ways that can be said aloud. Reassuring, whining, frustrated, calm...

Think about all the different people who can say that, and how the speaker changes the meaning. It's far different coming from an appliance repairman than from, say, Dr. Doom.

Words are sneaky.
