"Hey, Lindsy, why don't you come and sit on my lap?"

—Very common.
—I think you ought to get a helmet with horns.

"Good morning, do you have phone with you? No phone? Uh-oh!"

—Someone must.
—It's heartbreaking – To each his own – Oh, yeah! There's a reason – You have resistance to germs – I don't!

"Dude, do you have a cell phone on you?"

—Someone must.
—You should try out different dogs ... What a doll! ... Duck and cover.

"That's cute."

—At best.

—God forbid!
—I do worse things than you.

"Like what?"

—There's hope.
—Once you know one, you know 'em all.

"Everyone is doing it."

—Just imagine.
—It renews my hope – When someone likes you, you feel free and at ease; when someone's pretending they like you, you hate them.

"What about me?"

—Very different.
—That sounds like a song.

"We had sex before, so what's the problem now?"

—Different times.
—It's not what you do that brings success, it's what you don't do.

"If you love me, you'll have sex with me."

—Not yet.
—You can love me by getting off my back and stop criticizing!

"If you cared about me, you'd do it."

—Or vice versa.
—Where did you ever learn that someone who felt unloved in childhood and never learned how to express love, you criticize them?

"If you get pregnant, I'll marry you."

—Not yet.
—It's high school with money!

"What's wrong, are you a lesbian or something?"

—As if.
—They're just pretending they're hotshots.

"Don't worry, I'll use protection."

—That's it.
—Do you feel that's the right way to talk to someone who feels hurt?

"You only get one chance with me."

"People think they have to memorize everything."

—God forbid!
—The big thing is in knowing who to avoid.

[When you pick up the phone, the caller says,] "Who's this?"

—That's precious!
—Before your time.

"What's your boss say about this?"

—Not us.
—No one says you can't, right?

"How much money do you make driving a taxi?"

—Too soon.
—Have some faith.

"It's clear — Run the red light!"

—I'm sure.

"Hey! Punch me in, too, will ya'?"

—Go on!
—Who else does?

"Protecting your ass, huh?"

—For what?
—A dull cog in the machinery of life.

"You're breaking my heart."

—So sad!
—You and many people.

"You're kidding! That's not what Jim was telling me."

—A joke!
—In the real world things can be different.

"Can we try a French kiss?"

—Not us.
—Me and my kidneys thank you.

"Everybody's doing it."

—Not us.
—I think that's enough.

"You accuse me of cheating, but doesn't everybody cheat a little bit?"

—Not even.
—Some sharpie!

"Why shouldn't I cheat if everyone else is doing it?"

—Be serious.
—When they ask you for money, tell them to get a scholarship.

"Everybody's taking something. Why not?"

—Not us.
—Where did those big dogs come from?

"Everybody's crazy today."

—Not us.
—Perfect control.

"I'm asking you as a friend." [To help him cheat]

—Like crazy!
—The real cheat is to pretend you're stupid.

"I think you're a fucking loser."

—Totally different.
—I'm talking to you, aren't I?

"I dare you to give your husband."

—As if.
—I just don't have the will power.

"I double dare you!"

—Why bother?
—Why do you have to do what everyone else does?

"Chicken!"

—As if.
—Why didn't the skeleton cross the road? — No guts.

"I bet you can't swim across."

—Think so?
—The best thing to do is nothing.
