WOMAN 1: Of course not, you're beautiful.

The drunken girl throws up all over her friend.

WOMAN 1: Oh, my God, you fucking bitch!

Courtney and Christina touch up their make-up.

COURTNEY : I can't believe you grabbed his ass.

CHRISTINA: I know. But he comes right into my face and he starts telling me all this stupid stuff...

about how I like to play games and always be in control so I don't never get too close.

Several women are looking at Courtney as she adjusts her ample bosom.

COURTNEY : Nothin'. I've just never seen you act like this before, that's all.

Courtney tells a SMALL BREASTED WOMAN that her breasts are not real.

CHRISTINA: You calling me bahjiggity?
COURTNEY : Yeah.

The small breasted woman comes to talk to Courtney.

CHRISTINA: If I'm bahjiggity about this guy Peter, it's only because you're telling me I am.

COURTNEY : You've named the puppy.
CHRISTINA: I did not.

COURTNEY : You just called him Peter.
CHRISTINA: I did?

SMALL BREASTED WOMAN : Shell, you've got to come over and feel these things.

COURTNEY : I'm psychic and I just knew that his name was Peter.

The woman's friend, SHELLEY, comes over to feel Courtney's breasts.

Courtney's breasts and talk.
