And here the usage is important. "Sorry" does not neccessarily mean 
it's going to show up as "I'm sorry." For instance we know it's not 
going to be "I'm sorry I sicced a werewolf on you." <snigger>
All we have is 'sorry'?
Let's try: You'll be sorry! -- You won't be sorry!-- What a sorry 
state. -- Sorry? No I'm not sorry! She felt sorry for him. 

Personally, I'm more interested in the word "sacked" from that card.
