Thread:Talk:Subtext/Anyone disagree that Fast Eddie's Annie Hall example isn't subtext at all?

There is no sense of the word where "I hope my deoderant's working" is the subtext for "Hello". It's more like internal monologue that happens to be going on at the same time as the conversation.

The problem is, I'm not well-versed enough in literature to write a good subtext page, but it always bugged me that on tvtropes this page was locked on a complete non-example.
