Quote from The Thursday Murder Club: A Novel by Richard Osman

""Would you like the detailed answer, or the simple answer?" asks Ibrahim. "The simple answer, please, Ibrahim," says Elizabeth, without hesitation. Ibrahim pauses. Perhaps he had phrased his question poorly? "But I have prepared a detailed answer, Elizabeth." He lets this hang in the air, until Joyce says, "Well, let's all enjoy the detailed answer, shall we?""
