Shinji: What is it, Asuka?
Asuka: Hikari told me about AXL's Game Center! It sounds fun! I want you to take me there, okay?

Chucky: What are you doing? (Tiffany throws a plate at him) What would Martha Stewert say?
Tiffany: FUCK Martha Stewert! Martha Stewert can kiss my shiny, plastic butt! Here I am, slaving away over a hot stove, making cookies, making Swedish meatballs, and for what?! For a man who doesn't appreciate me! For a man who can't even wash one FUCKING dish! For a man who isn't even a man at all where it counts, if you catch my drift! (turns to Jade) Take it from me, honey! Plastic is no substitute for a nice hunk of wood!
Chucky: (turns to Jesse) And you're complaining last night. (turns back to Tiffany) Any guy would need a hunk of plastic, PROBABLY battery-operated, to get a reaction out of you in bed! And by the way, WHERE THE HELL DID YOU LEARN TO BAKE?!!

[After being imprisoned for destroying a shipyard.]
Dr. Watson: I haven't slept all night. Not a wink. Why I ever believed that I would get to have tea with Mary's parents is beyond me, having been talked into going with you.
Sherlock Holmes: We were set upon, man. It was self-defense.
Watson: I've been reviewing my notes of our exploits over the last seven months. Would you like to hear my conclusion? [Holmes reacts non-comittally] I am psychologically disturbed.
Holmes: How so?
Watson: Why else would I be continually led into situations where you deliberately withhold your plans from me? Why else?!
Holmes: You've never complained about my methods before.
Watson: I'm not complaining.
Holmes: [Petty and snide] You're not? What do you call this?
Watson: [Riled] How — how am I complaining?! I never complain! When do I complain about you practicing the violin at three in the morning? Or your mess? Your general lack of hygiene or the fact that you steal my clothes?!
Holmes: Uhh, we have a barter system
Watson: [Warming up to the subject] When do I complain about you setting fire to my rooms?!
Holmes: Our rooms.
Watson: The rooms! When do I complain that you experiment on my dog?!
Holmes: Our dog.
Watson: [Spluttering] On the—the— the dog!
Holmes: [Speaking over Watson] Gladstone is our dog.
Watson: Where I do take issue is your campaign to sabotage my relationship with Mary!
[Sullen pause]
Holmes: I understand.
Watson: [Skeptical] Do you?
Holmes: I do.
Watson: I don't think you do...
Holmes: You're overtired.
Watson: Yes.
Holmes: You're feeling sensitive.
Watson: I'm not sensitive...
Holmes: What you need is rest. My brother Mycroft has a small estate near Chichester. Beautiful grounds. There's a folly. We could throw a lamb on the spit.
Watson: "We"?! Holmes, if I were to go to the countryside, it would be with my future wife!
Holmes: [Resentfully] Well certainly, if we must have her along...
Watson: No, not you, Mary and I! You are not—
Holmes: What? Invited? Why would I not be invited to my own brother's country home? Watson, now you're not making any sense!
Watson: You're not human!!!

    Literature 
She and Bunny had a relationship the likes of which I had seldom seen except in couples married for twenty years or more, a relationship which vacillated between the touching and the annoying. In her dealings with him she was very bossy and businesslike, treating him in much the same way she handled her kindergarten pupils; he responded in kind, alternately wheedling, affectionate, or sulky. Most of the time he bore her nagging patiently, but when he did not, terrible fights ensued.
Richard characterizing the relationship between Bunny and Marion, The Secret History,

Juice: kind of an interesting relationship dynamic between these two. be honest with you, i’ve never seen a happier couple. they just get in their little things sometimes
i think honestly since they’ve got such a solid foundation to their relationship they actually have the time and energy left over to argue about the little things.
[…]
Ten: I think every relationship has to have at least some of that, though. It’s like a … it’s kind of like a clutch in a transmission, right? It has to be rough so it has something it can actually grip onto. That friction is the only way anything changes.
Juice: that analogy sucks
Ten: Oh come on, it’s not that bad.
Juice: eh it kinda sucks
Ten: Well I mean, that’s us right? That’s our relationship. I think a third of all my interaction with you is accounted for by arguing.
Juice: we ain’t married though lady
Ten: Ohhh ho ho. And thank God for that.
