Marian: Yeah, I know. Shop till you drop.

Jeanine: Right!

Marian: I'm getting a little short on cash. Let's just window shop a little.

Jeanine: Ok.

Marian: Hey, Jeanine, get a load of that. It's beautiful.

Jeanine: Hahaha, and I thought you were tired.

Marian: You know .. I have a weakness for long dresses.

Jeanine: It sure looks special, looks expensive too.

Tonia: Wow, Amy, look at that number.

Amy: What's so great about it?

Tonia: What do you mean? It's a scrim.

Tonia: I love that kind of stuff.

Amy: Yeah, you seem to like those styles.

Tonia: Sure do. I get a kick out of looking punk.
