Debbie: Okay, okay, I’ll behave. Lets go hit the stores but I can only window shop ‘cause I’m broke... unless you let me sponge a few bucks off you.
Alicia: Sure, what do I care? I’m rolling in it!
Debbie: Great, then let’s shop till we drop!
Alicia: Gee, look at the blouse in that window. It’s drop-dead gorgeous! I’ve got to have it. Holy cow! 200 bucks? Talk about a rip-off! Like I’m really going to fork out that kind of dough for a blouse.
