Neal Stephenson: ""Maaf," katanya, "aku keluar secepat...

""Maaf," katanya, "aku keluar secepat mungkin, tetapi aku harus tetap tinggal dan bersosialisasi. Protokol, kau tahu." "Jelaskan protokolnya," kata Nell. Beginilah dia selalu berbicara dengan Primer. "Di tempat yang akan kita tuju, kamu harus memperhatikan sopan santunmu. Jangan katakan 'jelaskan ini' atau 'jelaskan itu.'" "Apakah akan memaksakan waktumu untuk memberikan penjelasan singkat tentang istilah protokol ? " Kata Nell. Lagi-lagi Rita tertawa gugup dan memandang Nell dengan ekspresi yang tampak seperti alarm yang disembunyikan dengan buruk."

--- Neal Stephenson

Versi Bahasa Inggris

"Sorry," she said, "I got out as fast as I could, but I had to stay and socialize. Protocol, you know." "Explain protocol," Nell said. This was how she always talked to the Primer. "At the place we’re going, you need to watch your manners. Don’t say 'explain this' or 'explain that.'" "Would it impose on your time unduly to provide me with a concise explanation of the term protocol?" Nell said. Again Rita made that nervous laugh and looked at Nell with an expression that looked like poorly concealed alarm.
