Here's the thing,

The single greatest opening of a persuasive statement or rebuttal. Also if used correctly an effective Jedi mind trick.

Persuasive statement:
(person 1)"Here's the thing, you should go buy me a Pepsi."(note no question mark so it cannot be refused)(person 2)"Uh, ok."

Rebuttal:
(person 1)"You should move the couch over there on that wall."(person 2) "Well I like it there just fine." (person 1") "But if you move it there you can put the coffee table there, and then i can put my sewing table there!"(person 2)"Here's the thing, No."
