Young girl: "Dad, can you play 'Carmen' on your teeth?"

More rockets red glare

Watching the flares around the lake on the 4th of July.
Woman, pointing down the shore to a dock where people are setting off fireworks: "Can we set off fireworks over there?"
Woman standing nearby: "You can set them off right here, they're illegal everywhere."

Alien

At the small convenience store downtown. A young man is buying cigarettes.
Woman behind the counter: "Where do you work?"
Young man:"I, ah, I don't work."
Woman: "Are you buying these for kids?"
Young man: "Why are you giving me such a hard time? Is it because I'm Canadian?"
