Thank you for taking the trouble to talk to me.

If you take the trouble to examine that gun,

Thank you for taking the trouble to see me.

Something, something-- Something's up. Otherwise, why would they take the trouble to bullshit me?

Thanks. It was good of you to take the trouble to drop it over now.

I have trouble picturing what kind of woman you'd take the trouble to marry.
