Clever

Rick is being a sarcastic ass.
Arielle: "Man, you're a jerk and a half."
Rick: "No, I'm two, two, two jerks in one."
He laughs appreciatively at himself.

Responsible

Arielle opens the refrigerator. Rick is in the living room.
Arielle: "Rick, can I have a beer?"
Rick: "No, wait until you're 21."

Logical

After 6 days of being terribly ill with what is probably the flu, Arielle stands in the kitchen and announces: "I feel like a human girl!"

Rick , looking her up and down: "You don't look like one."

Festive

Arielle: "I want one of those pretty, white light up deer for the front yard."

Rick: "I don't think so."

Arielle: "Not this year, just one day. Look - our neighbors have one!"

Rick: "So what's the difference? Pretend that it's ours."

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."

Mature

Rick: "Are you coming to bed?"

Arielle: "Rick, it's 7:57."

Rick: "Oh come on, it's 8:00."

Arielle: "Okay, it's 8:00. Do I look like I'm 5 years old?"

Rick: "Yes."

Political

It's the first day of school in the neighborhood of Arielle and Rick. There is a school bus at the curb and lots of little children are piling in. Parents are snapping photos.

Arielle and Rick are driving by in their car, on their way to work.
Arielle (cheerfully): "Aw look! The parents are taking pictures of the really little ones. It's probably their first day of school EVER. They're embarking on their long journey of education!"

Rick: "Their long journey of INDOCTRINATION."
