Person 2 (continuing to prepare the coffee machine): "No." -- Panel 3: Person 2 (with lifted finger): "I see, you're shocked. So let me explain." -- Panel 4: Picture of working farmers. Person 2 (not shown): "Of course, the farmers are doing hard work for starvation wages." -- Panel 5: Picture of a grocery stand. Person 2 (not shown): "They get their wages from market sellers. These market sellers are guilty. But they do not really get much money either, so how can you accuse them?" -- Panel 6: Picture of a truck. Person 2 (not shown): "Further resellers transport the coffee. They are not well-paid, either." -- Panel 7: Picture of a shelf.

Person 1 fills up the second cup. Person 1: "That makes sense." ---- (gurer vf n fznyy fcvqre-ohaal sebz gur sbezre pbzvpf gung nccrnef va gur pbssrr cbjqre va gur frpbaq cnary naq va gur pbssrr pna va gur guveq cnary naq va gur pbssrr va gur avagu cnary naq vf gura qenax sebz gur phc bs crefba gjb va gur ynfg cnary)
