"When you sigh like that it is really distracting and I'm trying to stay cool."

               "If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen."

"What is that supposed to mean, I'm right here helping."

              "Helping...my ass. You are standing there breathing down my neck while I do all the work."

 "Well, you are better at things that take fine motor skill."

            "Like chopping onions?"

 "Yeah, you are good at slicing and dicing...is it me or is it like 100 degrees in here?"

           "If you closed your mouth it might go down a degree."

"If you stopped sighing it might go down 10 degrees."

           "You want the dough or not?"

"Keep kneading, I'm starving."

         "It's hard to focus with all that yacking."

"I'm starving."

        "You are going to have to wait."

"I think you might be doing it wrong, we should be done by now."

      "This is going to take longer if you keep distracting me."

"I'm just going to shut up and try to stay cool."

      "Hand me the knife."

"The knife? I question your technique."

        "Look Einstein, if you want to roll up your sleeves and jump in, by all means go for it!"

"You are better at this than I am."

      "Are you drinking whiskey?"

"Just a nip. I'm trying to stay cool."

      "Here give me a swig."

"Are you sure?"

      "Yes, it steadies the hand."

"Who am I to question your technique?"

          "Finally you speak some sense."

 "Maybe I should have more whiskey."

       "Absolutely."

"Did your father teach you how to do this?"

     "Nah, he was drunk all the time. My mother was the brains of the operation."

"And history repeats itself."

      "Now you are trying to flatter me."

"It usually works."

     "Keep going. Maybe you'll get lucky later."

"You're pretty and smart."

     "I know."

"Do you want to catch a movie later?

     "That's a great idea on such a hot night."

"Lie low."

     "With a bucket of popcorn."

"I heard there is a good one about a bank heist. Kind of a Bonny and Clyde remake."

     "Sounds perfect."

"Maybe we have time for a quick shag before the movie."

     "It's too hot to shag."

"I'll cool you off baby."

    "With all that yacking and whiskey drinking?"

"They call me Mr. Ice."

   "Because your head is cold, hard, and square like an ice cube?"

"You're funny, I like that. But your heart is cold as ice."

   "You like it.:

"You're right."

     "and...bingo! Open sesame."

"You did it! I love you."

      "I love you too. Maybe we do have time for a quick shag before that movie."

"Or two."

        "Oh, shit."

"Oh, shit what?"

"Put your hands up. You have the right to remain silent."
