By Any Other Name...

 

Natalie: Ooooh, so pretty!

Paul: You know, lots of girls' names are inspired by flowers.
Natalie: You don't say.

Paul: Well, there's Iris, obviously, but also Lily, Rose, Violet, Daisy, Hyacinth...

Natalie: And Cupcake.  Don't forget that one.

Paul: "Cupcake"?!?  I've never heard of a girl with that name!
Natalie: Perhaps you just lead a very sheltered life.

Paul: Besides, cupcakes don't grow like flowers.
Natalie: >Sigh< No, no they don't.

Natalie: But in a perfect world, they would!

Right Tools for the Right Job

 Noah Conrad is sorting through some blueprints for his next project...

Noah Conrad: The money is in the detail.

Noah: Yep, this is the one.  Now, I need to make some notes.
Where's my mechanical pencil?

Noah: Wait, what's that?

Noah: Lipstick?!?!  What the heck?

Noah: And a makeup tray instead of my paint samples?!?

Noah: >Gasp<

Noah: Nooooo!!!! My beautiful beautiful tools 
all replaced by....cosmetics!

Kirwan Mahoney: What's all the hubbabub, Bub?
Noah: YOU!
Kirwan: >Hee hee<  
Noah: Grrr....
Kirwan: Relax, Tiger, I'll bring your tools back.
By the way, you might want to use a couple of these things.

Noah: >Sigh< He got me again. >Sigh<
It was a decent prank, actually.

Noah: Hmmm...my nose is looking a little shiny...

Sunk

 

Logan: Where's Holly Belle?  You two are always hanging out together.
Meghan: She's playing 'Battleship' with Nathan.

Logan: >Snort<  You are what you play, I guess.
Meghan: What?
Logan: Never mind.

Nathan: G-4
Holly Belle: Miss.

Nathan: That's impossible!  I've tried all the locations around one of your hits.
Holly Belle, are you moving your ships around?!?!

Holly Belle: So what if I am?
Nathan: It's against the rules, that's what!
Holly Belle: Well, that's stupid.  They're ships.
They're supposed to move around.  That's why they have propellers.

Holly Belle: Nathan, you're the cheater!  You're trying to look at my board!
Nathan: My leg went to sleep, and I'm just stretching it.

Holly Belle: I demand a neutral observer to monitor this conflict!

Kevin: Kaveh, you're needed to referee a heated game of Battleship.
Kaveh: >Sigh<  I feel like I'm in the UN.
