Miklos: I think one of the best things out there is marble cheddar dipped into maple syrup. Seriously. You wanna try it?
John: Man, I hope I don’t evolve into you.

[eyeing my credit card]
John: Nice orange card. Do you mind if I memorize all the details?
Miklos: Yes, very much.

Miklos: I have so much on my mind this week. A playlist for the dinner dance, the speakers, the ticket sales, getting winter tires on my car, my brakes are failing, setting up tables at the hall and on top of all that a full time job.
John: Wow. The only things on my mind are things for my own enjoyment. Like my gaming PC, my [new PS5] controller...

Miklos: Congratulations! You have outgrown your asthma! This calls for a treat.
John: Yay, yes it does! Cigarettes! Bring back the asthma!
Miklos: With a vengeance…

[Got a new wifi-enabled dryer, notifications popping up on Miklos' phone]
Dryer: Cycle complete.
Dryer: Wrinkle-prevent started.
Dryer: You can remove clothes at any time.
Miklos: Sheesh, give them a voice and they go on blabbering.
John: Dad, do you want to come watch me play Fortnite?
Miklos: Sure, just let me go get these clothes out of the dryer before it blogs about what a neglectful owner I am.
John: Haha, that would be funny! Dryer subreddit…

[30 minutes before dinner]
Miklos: What are you doing with that ice cream?
John: I am going to become friends with it… then I am going to betray it and eat it.

Miklos: Wanna hang your clothes? They’re in the basket.
John: Yeah… no.
Miklos: You should…
John: Yeahhhh, but no.
Miklos: Why not?
John: There’s not a chance of that happening.

John: Will there be soup?
Miklos: Yes..
John: Will there be SALT?

John: do you even use the Messages app on your work phone?
Miklos: yeah… Sometimes
Miklos: … during work hours
Miklos: … not very often
John: heh, the answer depletes every time you think about it.

Miklos: If you want to be in the olympics, this is the time to start preparing.
John: Well, I am never going to play any sports.
Miklos: Not with that attitude…
John: Exactly. [sarcastically] Finally, someone who gets me.

John: I don’t overthink things.
Miklos: No? You under think?
John: No, I just think.

Miklos: Do you think if we were listening to something like Joel Plaskett, we'd be driving differently?
John: Yeah
Miklos: So you're saying the type of music we listen to influences our driving? [Listening to dance music]
John: Definitely, given that you're doing 100 in a whiteout.

[Taking money out of an ATM]
John: Ooh! It's warm!
Miklos: Hmmm.. I wonder why it's warm. It's not like it was just made. *smiles* A bit concerning, isn't it?
Miklos: Feels good though!
John: Feeling good makes you concerned?

[driving around downtown]
Miklos: ok we still have a few minutes to kill before I have to drop you off at school. Wanna do donuts in the No Frills parking lot?
John: you can't do donuts in a front wheel drive car
Miklos: I'll find a way
John: let's not
[a few minutes later]
Miklos: Okay, I'll just turn around up there and we'll head to school
John: turn around where?
Miklos: I'll turn around a few times... up there in the No Frills parking lot.
John: dad...

John: [mimicking the compass] North, East, South, West.. Never Eat Soggy Waffles.
Miklos: [at the same time as John saying "soggy waffles"] Shredded Wheat...
John: What? What is shredded wheat?
Miklos: A cereal brand from the old days. Not as popular now I suppose.
John: Who'd name a cereal "shredded wheat"?

Miklos: John, can you turn the light off?
John: Sorry, my answers are limited. You have to ask the right question.

Charlotte: It's "National French Fry Day".
Miklos: How come they get a day? And it's Thursday...
Charlotte: Wait, what did you think I said?

[finding him huddled into a tree]
Miklos: Whatcha doin'?
John: Surviving on two bars of internet.

Miklos: I need to fix the horn. My anger has no voice.

Miklos: Brett and Curtis play this game called Civilization
John: I think everyone plays that
