Dave: "Bill McNeil is ...adequate... I'm sorry Bill."
Bill: "Sorry? Sorry, you weren't singled out and deemed adequate?"

"...After all adequacy is the hallmark of great journalism."

"What is adequate journalism if not great journalism?"

"We'll finish this later, after I fulfill my duties with my customary adequaucivity."

"It's one thing, of course, to know you're adequate, but, to have a fellow member of the press stand up and say 'Yes, you sir are adequate,' Let me tell you it is a very special feeling."

"Well, I'm off to astonish the world with more feats of adequataqaticism."

Dave: "Everything going adequately?"
Bill: "Very adequately sir, I'm virtually bursting with adequatulence."

"...Ok, look, you think I don't know adequate sucks."
