Claire:Gretchen, I told you that...Dad! What are you doing here?
Noah Bennett:Hey, dad! Nice to see you! Thanks for bringing the
house-warming presents.
Claire:Hey, dad! Nice to see you! Thanks for bringing the
house-warming presents.
--------Noah was just showing Claire that she'd better watch her
language. By doing this, the girl might not be annoyed. Actually, it
seems a better way than 'You should' or 'You'd better...'
Bennett: I was a bit harsh earlier at the restaurant.
Clair Bennett: A bit?
Bennett:Okay. Two bits.
--------Though we don't say 'two bits', but in this case, it does work
and works very well, even better. A vivid atmosphere appears showing
the closeness between the father and the daughter.
Gretchen: Claire, Claire, open up...
--------Gretchen didn't say open the door but open up. So we learn a
new usage of up.
