Thank God for your amazing powers of persuasion.""Yeah, if only they worked when he was really pissed. And really pissed off.""Still, you need to teach me how to do that sometime, so I can use it on dad, get whatever I want.""Like you don't already.""Maybe. But I'm always looking for ways to fine-tune the process."He shook his head and waved me to the truck."
In a conversation about persuasion, one character expresses gratitude for the other's convincing skills. The other character acknowledges that while these skills are effective, they often fail to work during moments of high emotion, particularly when anger is involved. This highlights a common struggle in communication, where emotions can hinder persuasive efforts.

There's a playful exchange about whether they already manipulate situations to their advantage. The dialogue reveals their desire to continuously improve their skills, underscoring a theme of personal development and strategic interaction within familial relationships.
