Mindful

Arielle and Rick are making homemade fried chicken together in the kitchen. (That was the first mistake.)
Arielle has been giving instructions, explaining a plethora of information. She has been talking for probably 5 minutes straight.

Rick asks what to do next.

Arielle: "I already told you. Twice. Do you remember?"

Rick: "I'm trying not to pay attention."

Creative

Rick and Arielle are in a hotel room in Baltimore. Arielle is talking and talking, nagging at Rick for something.

Rick (interrupting): "Hey, where's that remote?"

Arielle: "Here." She picks it up off the bedside table and hands it to him.

Silence follows and Arielle keeps talking, while looking down at her phone and some text messages. She suddenly notices that nothing has been turned on. She looks up at Rick and he is pointing the remote at her, clicking the on/off button.

Rick (smirking like the ass that he is): "It's not working."

   
    
 

Attentive

I believe Arielle was talking about LOST or some other passionately loved topic...

Arielle is talking and talking... she trails off...

Arielle (excitedly): "I could write like a whole paper about that!"

Rick (nods his head vigorously, a sarcastic tone blooming): "I should've just taken dictation - you'd already have a paper."
