Ann: He had a lot of nerve telling us our ads sucked.
Jess:Time to order. [to barista] Barista, today I want a skinny triple latte.
Ann: When did you start worrying about your weight?
Jess:I'm not. I just don't feel like drinking whole milk today. Why? Do you think I'm fat?
Ann: No, Jess, chill out!
