Isabella: What are you doing?! Why are you trying to hit that guy?
Tony: He deserves it. He insulted you. I’m going to knock his block off!
Isabella: Stop it! Be civilized 1. This isn’t some free-for-all. You can’t punch a guy just because he said something offensive.
Tony: Oh, yes I can. Let me at him! I’m going to clobber 2 him.
Isabella: If you take another swing at him, he’s going to have you arrested for assault. Get a hold of yourself.
Tony: I’m just trying to defend my sister’s honor. What’s wrong with that?
Isabella: Nothing, but violence isn’t the answer. Let’s get out of here and cool off a little.
Tony: All right, but if I ever see that guy again, he’ll get what’s coming to him.
Isabella: Okay, okay, let’s go. You said he insulted me. What did he say?
Tony: He said you had nice legs. The nerve of that guy!
Isabella: That’s it? He said I had nice legs and you tried to hit him?
Tony: Isn’t that enough? He can’t say those things about my little sister.
Isabella: I think we need to have another talk about you being overprotective. I’m an adult. I can take care of myself.
Tony: Yes, but I’m your big brother and I’m making sure that no one messes with you. That’s what big brothers are for. You don’t have to thank me.
Isabella: Thank you? Uh!
