At the consulate general
R: If your passport which you left at home isn't valid anymore, I have to order a new one, additionally to the temporary one.
Me: Oh, okay. It's not valid anymore.
R: Well, then you have to pay 65 euros plus additional 72 euros ...
Me: I haven't so much money, only 100 euros from a friend. I've been robbed.
R: If you tell me that your passport is not valid anymore, I have to order a new one.
Me: But the temporary one will be valid for one year?
R: I cannot put the words in your mouth, but if you say it isn't valid anymore, I have to order a new one.
Me: So... well... it is still valid.
R: Then you have to pay 65 euros for your temporary passport.
Me: kthxbye.
