The dreaded words that Chris Hansen will tell you when you go into the house hoping to hook up with an underage girl.
I walked into the house "hey did you bring the stuff I asked for?"
"Smirnoff Ice and strawberry condoms, you bet."
"ok let me just get changed"
I go into the kitchen and see Chris Hansen
"why don't you take a seat"
When one is faced with a situation with two equally difficult choices.
If I take the back seat, then I am cut off from the social interaction in the front seat. If I sit in the front seat, then I am cut off from the social interaction in the back seat. Which seat can I take?
The famous one liner used by Chris Hansen in his interviews of potential sexual predators as seen on Dateline NBC's 'To Catch a Predator'.
Upon walking into the room in which the potential predator and the decoy (the latter of which may not be in the room at the time) meet, Chris usually starts off with asking the potential predator something that has to do with what the potential predator and the decoy were just discussing, and then asks the potential predator to "take a seat".
The phrase 'take a seat' and 'have a seat' are often interchanged.
Decoy: "I made you some cookies but I got chocolate on my shirt, I gotta go change it really fast but I left them on the table for you."
(about 10-15 seconds pass)
Chris Hansen: "So no cookies for you then? Why don't you go ahead and take a seat on that stool there for me please".
A phrase used in the Star Wars prequel Episode III Revenge of the Sith. The line is said by Mace Windu
Person 1: You're on this council but, we do not grant you the rank of Master
Person 2: What? How can you do this. This is outrageous. It's unfair. How can you be on the council and not be a Master
Person 1: Take a seat young Skywalker.
Person 2: Forgive me Master.
