Proper Behavior at a Formal Event 


Rodney: Ha-ha! Did you hear what I said? Funny, right? 


Samantha: Behave yourself! This is a serious and solemn occasion, not a time for levity 1


Rodney: Loosen up. We have to endure two hours of this ceremony. 


Samantha: It’s indecent the way you’re behaving. Don’t you have any sense of decorum? 


Rodney: Lighten up. You’re such a stick-in-the- mud. There’s nothing unseemly about cracking a few jokes when everybody here is taking themselves too seriously. 


Samantha: Your problem is that you have no sense of dignity. Don’t you realize that your stupid jokes cheapen the occasion? You’re a disgrace. 


Rodney: Don’t get all huffy. All right, if you won’t join in, I’ll try to be serious. 


Samantha: That’s better. 


Rodney: I would seriously like a drink. Bartender! 


Samantha: [Groans]
