C: As it turns out, you can burn butter!
GDB: Um, yes... I thought you knew that?
C: Not exactly...
GDB: I thought you knew what you were doing.
C: I do! We're going to say it's blackened fish, okay?

Fast food ineptitude
E: This is the third time I've complained about this particular Wendy's. Is Dave Thomas still alive? I wanna send him a note.
C: I think he died, like, a decade ago, dude.
E: Oh. 2002. Damn.
C: Hey, not bad for a random estimate on my part!

Shhhhhedules
C: That's okay. You UK-ites say "shhhedule." Weirdies.
L: It has no "K" in it!"
C: It has a "ch!"
L: True. Ok, you win. This time.

On Icelanders
L: Icelanders should really stick to what they know best - managing fish. Leave the rest to people in the civilised world.
C: "I am Ragnar, manager of all these dried fish!"
On that note, I would like a business card that says "Fish Manager."

Pants?
C: Okay, brb, gotta go find pants (story of my life...)
L: LOL, that's funnier in UK English.
C: My American-ness confuses me now.
L: The pants = not underwear thing always confuses me.
C: OH, I see! See, underwear = underpants are interchangeable here, but never pants. Panties, perhaps. But that's specifically knickers. ... Sort of. We do have something we refer to as "knickers" but it's a specific sort of panty.
L: Knickers = women's pants here.
C: Wait, UK pants, yes? This is more confusing than cookies and biscuits.
L: In the UK pants are plain cotton underwear and little boys also sometimes wear pants.. and some grown men that shouldn't be allowed to exist.

Fus Ro Dah, baby
C: M and I are talking about you.
GDB: What did I do that was talk-worthy?
C: She was asking about you. I was bragging about your general awesomeness.
GDB: Admit it. You were bragging about the power of my Thu'um.

Office ski trip
L: I'm trying to decide if I want to go on the office ski trip.
C: Ooo! Fun!
L: Yeah. I don't ski, but I do drink and there's a bar.

Skyrimming
GDB has just discovered that he has a dinner meeting with his team from work.
GDB: I just feel bad, because you're only here for the week.
C: It's just a few hours. I'll definitely miss you, but when I pass your level in Skyrim, I'll feel fine.
