[Least something might be accomplished. Wouldn't advise that unless you want him to snap at you constantly!] I see no practical reason for it, and I would be a laughing stock if I did. [His image was very important to him, maybe too important]
[Envisioning the expression on his face in that eventuality is priceless. Then he'd still try to contort himself enough to work on something and ultimately fail. I'm not a baby, I'm just really fussy about certain things.]
You have a low threshold for humor. [Are you sure you want to start a prank war, Takamaki? That goes both ways. You'll have to sleep sometime too.] I'm glad I recalled him, so you couldn't insult him to his face with that nonsense. There's no way I'm calling him Toby... Mcstuffins. It should at least be dignified if not descriptive.
[The result of her slamming into the giraffe at full speed at least got Kaiba to reconsider his actions. Not openly, nor did he apologize but it was a start. There could have been an alternative way to react that didn't involve potential physical harm... Still, it had gotten results.] So, an obstacle course then? [Not outright shooting it down. Little did she know that he had experience scaling steep cliff faces, sometimes one-handed while juggling his briefcase] ... I'm listening. [It also sounded more dangerous, and enticing, really. A greater challenge]
I don't think it'll ever come up, so thanks but no thanks.
There aren't any hippos here. [.. because THAT was the important thing to take away from her dialogue. ] If you do, I will turn it to my favor without running headlong into it.... Just so you know.
