Johnny: Father tone?
Moira: There it is.
Johnny: You think I have a father tone?
Moira: John, I wish you could hear yourself talk. But of course you never do.
Johnny: And that's the other thing I guess, I never listen to myself? [sighs]
Moira: Look, it's by not engaging in this kind of tit-for-tat that we keep our marriage afloat.
Johnny: And you have no faults, other than drinking tea?!
Moira: John, I just admitted that I can get a little defensive. But only when you act like a big child!
Johnny: I act like a child?
Moira: Yes, John, and now is not the time for you to throw one of your tantrums!
Johnny: Moira, of the two of us, I'm not the one who throws tantrums!
Moira: I will not engage. I do not want to see him get the better of us. And I'm sorry, obviously this has worked you up into some kind of fit of pique.
