Dialog 1 take a back seat [ 二の次になる ]

Angela:I hear you're leaving your position at the law firm!
Yukio:I'm moving out of Tokyo and buying a house near the beach in the countryside.
Angela:You'll never find such a high-paying job outside the city.
Yukio:It doesn't matter. Money takes a back seat to living in a good environment and having some free time.

Dialog 2 in someone's face [ うるさくいう、口出しする ]

Yukio:I got in trouble for wearing my watch to school today.
Angela:Again?
Yukio:Yeah. They also told me not to ride my bike to school.
