Like the other guy was trying to reason with him.

God help her, she wanted to try again with him.

Too bad he hadn't tried the same approach with her.

She recently tried to find information on him, with no results.

Maybe tonight I will try again with the woman, he thought.

A moment later, she tried again with the same result.

I tried with all my will to get back in.

And then I tried again the next day with the same result.

She tried again an hour later with the same result.

He would try one more time to reason with the old man.
