Rodney:Ha-ha! Did you hear what I said? Funny, right?

Samantha:Behave yourself! This is a serious and solemn occasion, not a time for levity.

Rodney:Loosen up. We have to endure two hours of this ceremony.

Samantha:It's indecent the way you're behaving.

Don't you have any sense of decorum?

Rodney:Lighten up. You're such a stick-in-the-mud.

There's nothing unseemly about cracking a few jokes when everybody here is taking themselves too seriously.

Samantha:Your problem is that you have no sense of dignity.

Don't you realize that your stupid jokes cheapen the occasion?

You're a disgrace.

Rodney:Don't get all huffy. All right, if you won't join in, I'll try to be serious.

Samantha:That's better.

Rodney:I would seriously like a drink. Bartender!
