It's your decision – The correct decision should be obvious by now

Do what you want – You'll pay for this later

We need to talk – I need to complain

Sure…go ahead – I don't want you to

You're certainly attentive tonight – Is sex all you ever think about?

I'm not emotional! – I'm not having a period

This kitchen is so inconvenient – I want a new house…and curtains and carpeting, furniture…

Hang the picture there – No, I mean hang it there!

Do you love me? – I'm going to ask for something expensive

I'll be ready in a minute – Kick off your shoes and find a good game on T.V.

You have to learn to communicate – Just agree with me.

Are you listening to me!? – Too late, your a goner

I'm sorry – You'll be sorry.

No – Yes

Maybe – No

Do you like this recipe? – It's easy to fix, so you'd better get used to it
