Exasperating Politeness

Pull up a chair
Here, let me refresh your drink
Have a cookie
So, are you seeing anyone?
What are you doing for work?
Don't tell the Smiths but...blah, blah, blah
No, no, it's no trouble at all
Have a slice of pie
I insist
You're wasting away dear
You need to eat
You'll end up like my Carl if you...blah, blah, blah
I think you need to finish school
I think you need to get married
I think you need to have some kids
I think...blah, blah, blah
Are you sure you have to leave?
It's no trouble at all
You know we have a spare room
Ok, well, come more often!
These visits are too few
You should take some food
Here, let me fix something for you
You should...blah, blah, blah
