"That's my chip," Jeff said to Uncle Roger
before he hit him.

"Yes," Uncle Roger said,
getting up slowly from the floor.
"But it was Tom Broadthrow who stole your design.
Admittedly, I ripped it off from him."

Uncle Roger began to discuss the details
of the chip in technical language
that I did not understand.

But Jeff did not stay to listen.
He exited, slamming the door behind him.
