1/ Feigned Innocence:

"Who, me? I haven't done anything wrong."

2/ Minimisation:

"Oh, *that*. Well, I was downloading this one thing. Well, okay, six... but everybody does it!"

3/ Bargaining:

"Are you sure you have to take my PC away and tell my supervisor? Is this going to screw my degree?"

4/ Acceptance:

"Right. Uh, would you like me to show you where I stored everything?"

5/ Humility:

"... Oh. So you knew everything before you even appeared. Right."

Sometimes followed by:

6a/ Paralysis:

<FEAR>

6b/ Flight:

<runs the fuck away, screaming>
