"What Did You Say"
 By Reba Orton                                     

Huh? Hmm? Eh? What?
Give that another shot.
What was that?
I missed that.
Repeat that.
I didn't get that.
I beg your pardon, say that again.
I'm sorry, run that by me again.
Speak louder, speak slower.
Excuse me? Pardon me?
I couldn't hear you, I can't hear you.
I didn't hear you, I don't understand you.
