Heather:
I *hate* being a Martha. You were *so* right not to join. I mean all I am is their little slave. Ok, it was supposed to be me and Meg and Siobhan decorating the Holiday Inn for prom and now Meg and Siobhan can't do it and I'm totally screwed! Mel, you *have* to help me! They have some sales meeting in there until like three but then they'll let us start and I *know* we can do it!

[Melinda gives a blank stare]

Heather:
You are *so* great! I owe you *big* time! What if I help you redecorate your room? I know, a nice seafoam green!

Melinda Sordino:
[hesitates] No...

Heather:
Ok, or... something *rich* like, like eggplant!

Melinda Sordino:
No, I mean, I won't help you.

Heather:
But you have to.

Melinda Sordino:
No, I don't.

Heather:
But why?

Melinda Sordino:
[now angry] Because I was nice to you... in the beginning of school... when I didn't even like you. And you blew me blew me off! Because you're a self centered social climber! And you know what? I know what I wanna do to my room and it doesn't involve "eggplant". I think you should go!
