My hot take is that it depends on how the line is delivered. “When the waiter comes back, I’m going to wrestle them.” I know it would be more work, but it could be interesting to see example short videos of how you change the delivery and how that effects how person 2 responds. My take of your main point is JUSTIFICATION.

This comment coming from a travel food blogger sooths my mind.
Improvise what you know!
Even when writing a scene, just making a character care more can solve so much.
