Steven: *drinks a Diet Pepsi*
Mary: *folding her arms, and gives Steven a stern look*
Steven: Yeah?
Mary: I was told you read my diary?
Steven: Who ratted me out?
Mary: Paul did. He saw you glancing at my entries. And, don't try to lie yourself out of it.
Steven: Sorry. Can we just move on? *still drinking his soda, his apology not sincere*
Mary: Steven, you read my private diary. I can't just let you get away with it, unscathed. I'm gonna have to beat you up.
Steven: Oh, um..... Well.... *fake coughs*
Mary: You okay?
Steven: *still fake coughing* No!! Darn soda went down the wrong tube! *making his coughs more convincing* I'm gonna die!
Mary: Oh dear! *pats his back*
Steven: *stops fake coughing and acts like he is catching his breath* Jeez!
Mary: You okay, now?
Steven: Yes, I'm okay. That soda did a number on me.
Mary: Yeah, you should definitely be careful. You sure you're okay?
Steven: Yes.
Mary: Are you positive? *smirks*
Steven: A hundred percent.
Mary: Good! *beats up Steven*
Steven: *getting beat up*
Paul: Those coughs weren't as convincing as he made them out to be!
Mary: *still beating up Steven*
Steven: *still getting beat up*
