The scenario that is an example of verbal irony is: "Two characters get into a huge fight and then at the end, the one calmly says, 'We don't get along with each other that well.'"
In this case, the character's statement is in stark contrast to the situation that just occurred (the huge fight), highlighting the irony in what is being said versus what is being experienced.
