white 3-b
I really was going to tell her. I just couldn’t do it. I’m sorry.There’s still some stuff you’re keeping from me, though. — Like what?

I couldn’t do it.
Like what?
white 4-a

You did it! I’m so proud of you.
I put together an apology. — Let me see. Not good enough. You did it.
Not good enough.
What’s the point?
Are you done?
You think so?
white 4-b

It’d be nice if you remembered. But don’t worry about it, it’s not a big deal.Listen, I was wondering if... you know what, never mind.
I tried it one time and it was awkward. — That’s too bad. You’d make a nice couple.

yellow 1-b
I’ll bring my credit card with me, though. Better safe than sorry.I’m going to present a couple new ideas to him. — Don’t bother.

yellow 12-a
On second thought, I think I'll join them. Is that ok? — Suit yourself.But then it becomes totally pointless. — Good point.

You were way out of line.
Don’t mind me.
I owe you.
yellow 12-b
Keep it down! Stop yelling! We’re putting our kids to bed.Wanna play the new game? — I don’t know. Is it any good?
No, nothing’s wrong. I’m just checking in.
What’s (the deal) with the badges? Why’s everyone wearing one all of a sudden?
I can’t do this. You’re gonna have to do all the driving, I’m afraid. Keep it down.

I can’t do this.
yellow 13-a

I doubt it.
I guess.
It’d better not.
I don’t think so.
yellow 16-a
The guy was staring at my cleavage the whole time. — Can you blame him?It’s like he doesn’t have an off switch. — Nothing wrong with that. He’s a kid.
Let me sign you up. What’s your name again? — You know what, never mind.
Has it ever occurred to you that you could handle all this yourself? — What do you mean?
Why do you always come here and try to take over? — What are you talking about? You know what, never mind.
Can you blame him?
Nothing wrong with that.
What do you mean?
What are you talking about?
yellow 16-b
Sure, we could wear masks, but then no one would know it’s us. — Good point.You know what they say, it ain’t over til it’s over. Hang in there. — I know. Still.
Dinnertime! Who’s setting the table today? — I know, I know. Coming!
Why would you study something you don’t enjoy? I mean, what’s the point?
That girl is way out of your league. — Excuse me? What’s that supposed to mean? Good point.
Still.
What’s that supposed to mean?
What’s the point? Coming!
yellow 17-a
So I posted a picture of the two of us. What’s the big deal?You know what? I can’t take it anymore. I feel trapped here.
Vinnie and I are getting married! — Congratulations. I’m so happy for you guys!

That’s it?
What’s wrong with you?
yellow 17-b
He doesn’t love me, he just wants me for my money. I can tell.Hey! What’s the matter with you? I have never seen you act like this.
That was supposed to be me on that stage. — Well, shit happens. Suck it up.
What? I don’t believe this. Are you saying there’s been a blackout again?
Of course the maps confusing. That’s the whole point. (That’s what it’s supposed to do.) What’s the matter with you?
I don’t believe this.
I can tell.
That’s the whole point.
Suck it up.
yellow 18-a
So he looked at a girl. Big deal. I mean, it was your first date. — So?There’s nothing wrong with that woman’s legs. — How can you tell?
And one last thing. You may want to brush your teeth more often. — You done?
Why don’t we just forget about presents this year? — Fine with me.
Why are you so interested in the guy’s name all of a sudden? — No reason. No reason.
You done?
How can you tell?
Fine with me.
So?
yellow 18-b
You threw your best friend under the bus. What were you thinking?Could you excuse us? We have a private matter to discuss. — Sure. Take your time.
I guess I’m not strong enough. — Give me a break. You’re the strongest guy I know.
Let me show you how to shut this thing off, before I leave. Just in case.
Ugh, why do I bother? You’re going to do it your way anyway. What were you thinking?
Why do I bother?
Give me a break.
Take your time.
Just in case.
yellow 19-a
I would bring her over tonight so you two could discuss it. Would that be ok?Maybe you’d like to tell me what I’m doing wrong here. — Do you really want me to?
Do you want me to take notes? I don’t mind. I’m happy to do it.
Why don’t you leave the dogs at home? They’ll be fine. — I’d rather not.
So, I hear you work at a brothel. I’ve never even been to one. What’s it like? Would that be ok?
I don’t mind.
What’s it like?
Do you really want me to?
I’d rather not.
yellow 19-b
You want me to tell you about a dream I had? You were in it. — I’d rather you didn’t.The guy is still running the Mob, even from prison. — What makes you think so?
Aren’t you curious to see if there’s a chapter about you? — There’d better not be.
There’s a new small part and I got you an audition. — Oh my God, are you serious?
Other than that, just keep on keeping on. It does get better. Hang in there. I’d rather you didn’t.
It’d better not.
What makes you think so?
Oh my god, are you serious?
Hang in there.
yellow 20-a
Would you rather teach math or gym? — Either is fine. I really don’t mind.My brother-in-law makes three times as much. — What does that have to do with anything?
What? I thought you’d gotten her off your back once and for all. — I wish.
Goddamn it! I almost lost my leg doing that! What was I thinking?
Honestly, you are making too much of a fuss about this. Just deal with it. I don’t mind.
I wish.
Deal with it.
What does that have to do with anything?
What was I thinking?
yellow 20-b
Do you think they’ll try to get back at you somehow? — I hope not.I wonder, would you rather be married or single? — Depends.
I taught math at an art school for a year. — Oh. Sounds awful.
Look, white guys just aren’t as good at basketball. — How come?
Let me try something else. Here we go. Well? Is this better? — Not really. I hope not.
Not really.
Sounds terrible.
How come?
Depends.
yellow 21-a
I love taking care of kids, and I do it well. So stay out of it, ok? I got this.Are you done? Or do you want to judge the plate it’s on as well?
We’re going to get rid of all that crappy art from when you were kids. — No way!
Just so you know, I’m never gonna ask you to do this again. Really, I mean it.
Screw this. I don’t need this. You think you can do a better job? You coach. I got this.
No way!
Screw this.
You done?
I mean that.
yellow 21-b
Could all of that really be a coincidence? — I don’t think so.Are we still hanging out this weekend? Is that still on? — Absolutely.
Why don’t you all come to my house? I’ll make lasagna. — Sounds good.
It’s really none of your business. Leave us alone.
By the way, you might want to check tomorrow’s paper. — Oh yeah? Why’s that? I don’t think so.
Sounds good.
Why is that?
Absolutely.
Leave us alone.
yellow 22-a

Wish me luck.
Stop it!
yellow 22-b
You thought getting married was going to fix everything? — Kind of.I don’t care how you do it. Just make it happen. (Just get it done.) Tomorrow.
He might have had a heart attack on the way out of here. — I doubt it.
If they want to talk trash about us, to hell with them. Let’s get out of here.
Ok, here’s how it works. You have basically two options to choose from. I doubt it.
Kind of.
To hell with them.
Make it happen.
Here’s how it works.
yellow 23-a
I don’t get it. Why would she want to work for someone she knows is a bully?No, they’re right, the store is closing down. — You have got to be kidding me!
Just so you know, I don’t want our wedding to be like that. — Me neither.
How’s business? — It’s going great. Knock on wood.
Is everybody ok? Whew. What a relief. Me neither.
I don’t get it.

How’s business?
Is everyone ok?
yellow 23-b
Sorry, I didn’t mean to do that. You ok? — Don’t worry about it.Hang on a second. What’s a ‘hashtag’?
