  • "Let's try that new place. I hear it's good. If it sucks, we'll have Hot Pockets back at your place."
  • "I don't care where we go as long as I'm spending time with you."
  • "Let's get a mimosa and talk about what (insert name here) did. You won't believe it."
  • "I spent 3,000,022 hours in labor with you... you can take me for a decent meal, dammit."
