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.
