dialogue around the cubes this morning

the girls (thekla, the oblivious but sassy greek, ellen, the blondest brunette in the history of hairdye, and vanessa, the sarcastic but goofy ital-american princess) were discuss how a friend of vanessas bought his girlfriend a ring for her birthday and theyve been dating for two years and "thats a recipe for disaster" and he has to return the gift asap.
daisy - swhat? no! she's just going to expect it to be an engagement ring? thats crazy! dont women have better thigns to do than wait around for a rock?
ellen- are you kidding? starting at about the 16th month of my relationship with mike i was getting fuscia manicures every week.
daisy- ...that is ridiculous. and why in the world fuscia of all colors?
ellen - it goes the best with platinum and diamonds, of course. god daisy you do have a lot to learn.
daisy- clearly. if you havent noticed i really dont DO nails. period.
thekla- we notice.
daisy- hey!
vanessa - no its cute! you shoudlnt have to have your nails done if you dont want to. i just dont know how you live without nails. what if you want to scratch your back?
daisy- i rub against a tree. also these days there are other more important things i dont want to scratch.
ellen- you can wear gloves for that problem.
daisy- ....ellen what exactly are YOU referring to?
ellen- oh when i was little i used to scratch my face in the night. isnt that what you were saying?
vanessa- thats not what she was saying ellen.
thekla- i dont get it.
daisy- im sleeping with a woman.
thekla- (pause) OH! didnt think of that.
ellen- i still dont get it.
(we all went back to work)
ellen- guuuuys!
