MICHAEL: Lilly, the car's here!
LILLY: I’m coming!
MICHAEL: Thanks for the ride. Thank you.
MIA: Hey. What?
LILLY: Michael, don't always think you can get a ride with us so- Oy. Who destroyed you?
MIA: Oh. You, you think it looks that bad?
LILLY: You look ridiculous. You should sue.
MIA: Well, um... I know it's, it’s a little straighter and shorter--
LILLY: Weirder!
MICHAEL: An attractive weirder.
LILLY: No. it’s not attractive.
JOE: Seat belts, please.
LILLY: What I really can't understand you ditched me again yesterday when I needed your help on the Greenpeace petition. This bag! You have one of these bags? You know we could hock that and feed a whole third world country? Am I right?
MICHAEL: No.
JOE: If there are no more passengers, I think we should close the door.
LILLY: I mean, you used to care more about what was inside your head instead of on it. Come on, Mia. Fess up. I don't know where you are these days and now you're turning into an A-crowd wannabe? You're morphing into one of them! And who knows, next week you could be waving pom-poms in my face. You sold out!
JOE: Was my rear-view mirror fogging up or was someone tearing back there?
MIA: I'm fine.
JOE: Very well. Then I'll go meet your grandmother. But you should know that no one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
MIA: Eleanor Roosevelt said that.
JOE: Yes. Another special lady like yourself. I'll be back at 3 o’clock.
MIA: Thank you.
