I forbid it

I cannot.

But I said no.

I did not decline.

She rejected me.

I have to say no.

I will not answer. Why, because you won't admit that you betrayed his trust?

I'm not going to answer that.

Why refuse it? I'm not refusing anything.

I categorically refuse!

And if I refuse?

I refuse. I can't do it.

I rejected the offer.

By saying no.

Thanks for turning me down.

He refuses to believe us.

I'm getting tired of turning you down.

I'm turning down that offer.

She'll have no one else. And what if she should turn me away?

You refusing my hospitality?

She turns them all down. Nobody ever turns me down.
