(1) "Thought it was you," he said with another smile. "Don't you have an umbrella?" Cam fought the urge to roll her eyes. "Would I be standing here getting wet if I did?" "Point taken," he replied feeling a little foolish for asking that question.

(2) I’m wearing purple docs with black and grey leg warmers and a pencil skirt. Do you think I really care if my pendant is a different shade of green than my top? Point taken, she replied.

(3) “Why don’t you emphasize the importance of a good education to increase their self-esteem and improve their positions in life?” Ron asked. “Get real, Ron!” I replied.” I’ve been a teacher for 30 years. If you had the choice of receiving an A+ on a test or a new iPhone, which would you chose?”  “Point taken,” he replied.

(4) “I like your scarf,” he said. “Not a lot of people can get away with that look.” I got the feeling he meant that no one could get away with the look, and I started laughing. “Point taken,” I said and took off my scarf. He quickly wrapped it around his own head. ‘You’re right,” I said and pulled it off his head.

(5) Trent Reznor’s smile seemed out of place, but not to him. ''Everyone has this impression of me that I'm morose,'' he complained. An interviewer pointed out that the albums he has made as Nine Inch Nails over the last decade are saturated in despair. ''Point taken,'' he said.
