Uh-huh, that's exactly what I mean. You talk to yourself and pretend it's JARVIS.

You also always turn everything into a joke.

Do you really want me to keep going? I feel like this is annoying, me listing all these things about you.

[ironism]

Not really. It's just that every serious conversation we've ever had has turned into an argument and I don't want that.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Well, that's a problem we shouldn't just avoid with humor, don't you think?

[ironism]

So you've got a problem with my sense of humor now? You want to take this outside? I'm kidding. I don't want to fight you. You'd just end up being all teary-eyed and sad and I'd feel bad about it.

[pursuitofcappiness]

You think you'd make me cry?

Look, that's not the point.

You are pretty annoying, but that's okay, Tony, it's just part of who you are. And I like you this way.

[ironism]

Didn't you cry while watching Beauty and the Beast? Or was Clint telling lies?

I'm confused. I'm annoying, but you like me this way. Guess you're just too nice of a guy. I found Hammer annoying and I avoided him like the plague. Or at least, I tried to.

You gonna make it to this party anytime soon, Cap? Or are we blowing Rhodey's cake without you?

[pursuitofcappiness]

No, and that story is old. The music was just okay.

I do like musicals, though.

Why are you even texting me at Rhodey's party? I'm on my way but I'm pretty far out still. I'll be there late. I'll get him a gift though.

[ironism]

Don't get him something that'll make you look too good and make me look like an ass because I didn't get him anything.

[pursuitofcappiness]

You're throwing him the party. That's the gift.

[ironism]

Except he doesn't want the party. Even though I throw an amazing shindig. You've been to my parties, right? You like 'em? Remember that time I invited those senior citizens to the barbecue and you had a great time chatting to them all?

[pursuitofcappiness]

I think this is why Rhodey doesn't like your parties.

Wait, didn't you fight him at one of them?

You know what, I'm gonna buy him some alcohol.

[ironism]

He started it. He wanted to take my stuff. Don't take my stuff.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Okay, think it'll still be going in an hour? I'm just checking out now.

[ironism]

We'll probably be partying all night. I like how you're turning up fashionably late.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Well, can I leave fashionably early? I don't wanna pick up after all of you when drunk.

[ironism]

You don't have to. Happy will get someone to clean the place up. So, no, Cap. You're not allowed to leave until it's at least the crack of dawn.

[pursuitofcappiness]

What? No, I'm leaving early, crack of dawn's when I wake up. So unless you want to draw on my sleeping face in marker.

[ironism]

Now that's an idea. Hey, am I allowed to say something? I'll just say it. Don't be a party pooper.

[pursuitofcappiness]

You're gonna go ahead and say it anyway, so say it.

[ironism]

I just did. That was it. Also, I signed you up for the next two rounds of karaoke. You're paired up with Clint.

[pursuitofcappiness]

What? How do you even know how long that's going until?

Tony, I'm skipping all the other songs.

[ironism]

If you don't get here soon, Clint's gonna be in charge of picking the next few songs, and fair warning, he's in a greatest love songs kinda mood. You know, Billy Joel, Cliff Richards, Air Supply, Phil Colins, Michael Bolton. Have a fun duet.

[pursuitofcappiness]

I don't know any of those people.

Wait, is Billy Joel the one that sings Love is In The Air Tonight?

[ironism]

Was it love? Pretty sure it was hate. Phil Collins.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Great, I'll do that one with Clint. He can sing all of it, I'll do the drums.
