Dancing With The Boss
“Listen...it’s that song where, in the music video, he picks someone from the audience and starts dancing with her.”
“He has better songs.”
“Did you know she became his wife?”
“You got it wrong. She’s an actress.”
“What do you mean?”
“Before she became famous for her role in that sitcom, she appeared in commercials and music videos.”
“I don’t believe you.”
“You don’t have to, but check him on the web, search for his wife and check her picture.”
“...”
“It isn’t the same one, is it?”
“Could I have been wrong all these years?”
“Looks like it.”

Siblings
“Stop it, Sis. Mom and Dad can’t even hear you and there is no one else around. It’s just you and me. You’re making a fool of yourself...again. Get real, it would do you some good. You’re a pretty lousy actress. Stop pretending you’re having a cramp because you are definitely not. I am waiting, missy. Nobody will believe you, you know. In fact, come to think of it: you slipped, I did not push you in the pool at all. Anyway, you can keep your head under water as long as you want to. See if I care.”
