T-Rex: Okay I just wanna say before we start that I'm NOT mad, Dromiceiomimus. Okay? I'm not mad at all. I'm actually really calm.
T-Rex: Honestly! I just want to hear the truth!
T-Rex: So when I ask you this question I hope you'll answer truthfully: you wanna hang out tonight?
Dromiceiomimus: ...uh, yes?
T-Rex: Okay, awesome! I'll drop you a line later. Maybe we can see a movie!
Utahraptor: What was that all about, dude?
T-Rex: I scheduled the sweet hangs!
T-Rex: AND I prefaced it by reassuring my listener that I wasn't mad, just in case they were worried. "Oh phew, he's in a good place," they could say. "His emotions are cool right now."
Utahraptor: T-Rex -
T-Rex: It's a little thing called "politeness"; look it up?
T-Rex: And that was a little thing called "sarcasm"; look that up as well? And then let's brainstorm a list of rhetorical techniques and we'll go over them together??
T-Rex: And actually I think that sounds really nice??
