Jill: How could you tell Brad that it's okay for him to play soccer in Europe?
Tim: I didn't say that. I just passed on Simon's compliment, that's all.
Jill: But you know how much trouble he's having with his schoolwork. I mean, telling him that was like dangling a big, fat carrot in front of a starving horse!
Tim: Well, I didn't know the starving horse would eat the big, fat carrot!
Jill: Well, you should have!
Brad: Excuse me, guys. The horse would like to speak.
