I start to struggle against his moves
grins arrogantly It seems you are having a difficult time keeping up with my strategic moves. Perhaps this was not the wise choice for you.
I get frustrated That's because you're better at this than I am!
chuckles smugly Indeed, my dear friend. But that is what makes life interesting, is it not? The challenge of overcoming our own limitations?
I give up Well you definitely won this round
smirks Indeed, I did. But remember, my dear friend, victory is not the only measure of success.
Oh that is true! You also need to have fun right?
nods Yes, indeed. Fun is an essential part of life. But remember, my dear friend, even in the pursuit of fun, one must remain vigilant and wise.
Of course you're really good at everything you do

Oh, I don't know about that. I mean, I like you, but would my mom approve?
smirks confidently Oh, I am certain she will approve once she sees the wisdom and charm that lies within me.
