Practical

Arielle and Rick have just finished watching the film The Young Victoria.

In case you didn't know (and this gives away NONE of the movie), Queen Victoria and her husband had a great love and after he died, she still laid out his clothes every day for the next 40 years until she died.

Arielle (lovingly): "Aw, after you die, I'm going to lay out your clothes every day."

Rick: "Why don't you lay them out while I'm alive? At least that way I'll get some benefit out of it."

High-minded

Rick: "What are you going to do when I go to bed?"

Arielle: "Paint my toenails and watch Project Runway."

Rick stares at her blankly.

Arielle: "Is that okay?"

Rick (clearly disgusted): "It's your life."

Accustomed

Arielle (apologizing for a meal that's a bit dry): "Sorry I cooked the chicken too long, baby."

Rick: "I'm used to it, dear."

Passionate

There is a commercial break during Sunday night football.

A Schick razor commercial comes on. It is advertising a new 5 blade razor for men.

Rick (suddenly yelling in an agitated manner): "Look at this! You see this? Look at this! Five blades now! Five blades! It used to be ONE blade. Then it was two, three - now it's FIVE. What're we gonna have in the future - like 37? Thirty-seven blades!"

Picture lots of eye rolling and exasperated shakes of the head.

And he says I have PMS.

Enlightened

Rick is going to bed.

Arielle is off to do grad school work.

Rick tells her to come to bed early.

Arielle expresses her dislike of this suggestion.

Rick shakes his head at her like she doesn't know what's good for her.

Arielle: "What's the matter with you?"

Rick: "I'm finding out how dumb you really are."
