'I think that consistency is over-rated as a personal trait. Don't you agree?'
'Sorry, what was that, dear?'
'I was just saying that I think consistency is over-rated.'
'You do, do you?'
'I wouldn't have said it if I didn't think it!'
'Hmmm. Is that so?'
'Yes. It is. What do you think?'
'I can't really say that I've given it too much thought, to tell the truth.'
'At all, or just recently?'
'To be honest, dear, I haven't really considered it at all. But I can see that you're eager to explain, so don't let me stop you.'
'Are you sure you want me to?'
'I can think of nothing that would presently entertain me more.'
'Are you being sarcastic? I recognise that tone.'
'What tone? I'm genuinely interested in what you have to say on the matter of consistency as a personal trait.'
'Well...'
'...What?'
'Please let me gather my thoughts.'
'Certainly, dear. I wouldn't want to disturb your mental processes. I wouldn't want to be consistent now, would I?'
'There you go. You're being sarcastic again. It's a trait of yours that I find very unattractive.'
'But is it a consistent trait, or is it only intermittent?'
'It's consistently intermittent... tending towards frequent.'
'That makes no sense.'
'It does to me.'
'Well, I suppose that's all that matters, dear.'
'There you go again! You just can't help yourself!'
'I'm sorry, love, but you do make it so easy.'
'You do know that they say sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, don't you?'
'I have heard that, and I often wonder who the "they" are. Don't you?'
'Don't I what?'
'It doesn't matter. Tell me about your thesis on consistency as an over-rated personal trait.'
'I'm trying to, but you keep on interrupting me.'
'Sorry. I promise I'll be a good and quiet girl. Please continue'
'Now I've forgotten what it was that I was going to say.'
'Typical.'
