Who has the last say

Some people always... that they don't build cars as they used to. What nonsense! I walked round the beautiful new Ferrari again, admiring the lines, when my thoughts were rudely interrupted. "Will you be long? a voice... sharply. "I haven't made my mind yet", I..., looking up at a sour-faced traffic warden. "Well, you can't stop here", he... me. "Who... so?" I... him cheekily. "I... so", he... to me. "It... here", he added, "in case you can't read, «No waiting»". "You read very well. Go to the top of the class", I... him, "but I'll make my own decisions". "Oh, will you?" the traffic warden.... "Then so will I and I've decided to give you a ticket", he... to me with relish as he began filling out the form. "Go ahead", I... him. "This car doesn't belong to me anyway. I wish it did".
