Teresa: OK, let's cut to the chase. what are they like?

Kelly: Well, they're really beautiful people.

Teresa: I'll say, she is really stacked, isn't she?

Kelly: Yeah, she is a neck-off (not clear) for sure.

Teresa: And he looks like a typical jog (not clear).

Kelly: He is a professional football player.

Teresa: Ah-ha, I thought so.

Kelly: Anyway, that is not what I meant by beautiful.

Teresa: What did you mean?

Kelly: I meant that they're very simple, easy to talk to.

Teresa: That's right.

Kelly: Yeah. I think things are worked out just fine.

Serena: Hey, Vernassa. why be angry look?

Vernassa: It's the new neighbor. I hate her guts.

Serena: I've never seen you so worked up. what did she do to you?

Vernassa: She made another white crack about my clothes.

Serena: Are you sure she was trying to put you down?

Vernassa: Of course, I am sure.

Serena: You shall go easy on her. she is new here.

Vernassa: Just how am I supposed to do that?

Serena: You shall just take it in surprise.

Vernassa: I've tried, but she keeps pushing my buttons.

Serena: Try to pull it together, Vernassa. I am sure things will turn (not clear), ok?

Vernassa: I am not. she is no picnic.

Serena: Well. if you think I can help, let me know.

Vernassa: Thanks, Serena.
