Jenny and Andy are having a cup of coffee at a cafe.
J: Hey, Andy. Did you feel that earthquake yesterday?
A: Sure. I was at work. Some of the women in the office felt dizzy and screamed.
J: You know, the ground shook so violently that I was terrified.
A: That sounds just like how a woman would feel.
J: I guess we women should be brave like you, Huh?
A: Of course! (Jenny shakes the table with her leg.) Aaagh! Earthquake! Help! (He gets under the table.)
J: Look at you ___I was just playing. You're worse than a woman. You even sounded worse than the women at

A: Uh… I knew it was just a joke. I was only trying to scare you.
J: Ha! I bet!
