"Why would the Cardinal ask for so much gold and silver for our weekly tributes recently?.." 

"You ask me, but who should I ask?" 

"I thought you had a very good relationship with the Cardinal?" 

"These are orders passed down from the Pope, and the Pope got these orders from the High Priest, and the High Priest got these orders from someone even more frightening. You tell me, again, who am I supposed to ask?" 

"No way! This much gold and silver could be considered a lot for a mere Cardinal, but now you're telling me that a respected High Priest requested it? If you don't want to tell me, then fine!" 

"Naive!"
