towards her. . . ]
‘Oh yeah, work it!’
[ She puts some ones
inside the girls’s thong ]

girl here
AMBER: You’re kidding
CLYY: Nope, for six
years
AMBER: That's shocking.
Thanks for the
information. . .
[ She walks into the
bathroom where Jeszyca
is washing her hands ]
‘Why didn’t you tell me
you use to work here?’
[ turns around ] JESZYCA:
I’m sorry Am, I didn’t
know how to and you
were so excited about
coming here
AMBER: So much for
sainthood, I guess
JESZYCA: Listen, it was
something I needed to
do to get me through

[ She leaves and as Jeszyca
is walking out Clyy runs up
to her. . . ]
‘Hey!’
CLYY: You’re just gonna
walk out without saying
JESZYCA: Yup, you don’t

I’m not one of your girls
[ He grabs her arm and
pulls her toward him/ Jeszyca
