Please, master, say it.

Joshu asked Nansen, "Leaving out all words, cutting out all arguments, please, master, say it."

Nansen immediately retired to his room.

Joshu said, "Although the old master is usually quite a chatterbox, once you come up with a question, he hasn't a single word for an answer."

So saying, Joshu slapped the attendant.

Note: Don’t worry; they won’t slap you at your local zendo. (But how about dinner and movie?)
