scene 3:

nelly:
why can't you go shopping with me tomorrow! why WHY WHY!
me:
because.... i am employed miss tan. i have to work so that i can get my pay so that i can go shopping with you.
me:
another day that is.
nelly:
okay. hey let's go apply for another job after you're done with this one. okay okay?
me:
ummm. yar. okay. but, i am going to slack first, for at least a week and half. i don't fancy writing another resume that soon.
me:
its depressing when your life is only worth two pages long and possibly less, depending on the size of your font.
nelly:
oh silly. let's just go scoop ice-cream together. i guess you don't need a resume attall! just tell them, i can memorise every single flavour you sell here! and, i like to eat ice-cream and people!
