*raises hand* "Objection." ~Clover

"Throw that member out!" ~the Raven

"Only cultured people with money across the pond can get Starbucks. I can't remember the last time I saw one." ~Clover

"You just don't get out. I seen plenty." ~the Raven

"Hah! Getting out? I get out." ~Clover

'You can't be half-Jewish!'-Ethan

'Oops. You're getting him annoyed; you don't want him to be annoyed.'-Blake

'You shut up. Nobody asked you.'-Ethan

'What, I'm not allowed to contribute to your ranting? Babe, take a deep breath and calm down.'-Blake

'Well they're being stupid. You can't be half Jewish. Rabbinical law says so.'-Ethan

'Babe. Calm down. Why do you give a damn? Let them be half Jewish if they want. Anyway, weren't you listening? If we're not uncultured yanks, that must make us cultured too.'-Blake

*laughing* 'Pull the other one. You, cultured? That's funny.'-Ethan

'Oh yeah, and what makes you so cultured?'-Blake

'I speak, read and write practically four languages for Christ's sake.'-Ethan

'Four?'

'English, Yiddish, Hebrew and German.'-Ethan

'I dunno if German counts; you're not fluent.'-Blake

'Practically fluent. I actually read books too, unlike some people.'-Ethan

'Hey. I read books.'-Blake

'Yeah? When was the last time you even picked up a book? And the Gay Times does not count as a book. It's a magazine.'-Ethan

'Um...ooh, last week, I read The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.'-Blake

'Really?'-Ethan

'Yeah. It sucked.'-Blake

Daniel: I've only got enough money for the three of us. Sorry.

Allyson: Eh, who cares? Let's go.

Elizabeth: We need to get money for them. Maybe there'll be an ATM on the way to Starbucks. Let's go.

*Scene changes to ATM near Starbucks*

Elizabeth: OK, lemme withdraw some money...

Allyson: Why do you care about them?

Daniel: Allyson, just let Liz get money for the oth-

Elizabeth: My name isn't Liz!

"Lizzie, you seriously have issues. I can predict that your life will suck to the magnium extent of excessive sucky suckitudity if you don't learn to give and take." ~the Raven

"You take, others give. Right?" ~Clover

"Mmm-hmm. Who said that?" ~the Raven

"You mean you actually don't know something? Stop the presses!!!!" ~Clover

"I can feel my arteries clogging up through the ammount of sarcasm you're letting off." ~the Raven

Brian: I feel my brain turning to goo. And it's not just because of the...never mind!

Cara: Excuse me? What did you say?

Brian: Nothing!

Cara: Tell me! NOW!

Brian: (mumbles something)

Marc: "I don't get why my heritage is so offensive. It's not MY fault that my grandma polluted our very Jewish gene pool by running off with a tourist from Switzerland."

Vanessa: "I think his point is that you can't call yourself truly Jewish unless you practice Judaism."

Marc: "So, does that mean you can't be considered Irish unless you drink a lot of whiskey? Or you can't be German unless you salute the Nazi flag?"

Vanessa: "Never mind."

Marc: "And I agree with Raven about the future suckiness of Lizzie's life. She takes herself too seriously. And Brian, secrets don't make friends."

Vanessa: "Neither do you - comparing Judaism to Hitler."

Marc: *shrug*

"I thought you could only be Irish if you were chronically lazy." ~Clover

"Then that makes Rohsair Irish, then." ~Kit

*laughs* "Sure, an' I am." ~Rohsair

"But the Welsh are supposed to be great singers." ~the Raven

*Clover begins to hum Men of Harlech*

"And, frankly, that stereotype does not apply to every Welsh one out there." ~the Raven

"Men of Harlech onto glory, this will ever be your story, keep these stirring words before yeeeeeeeeeeeee!" ~Clover

"All right, all right, we get it." ~the Raven

Marc: *randomly* "Why do Brits call the Atlantic Ocean a pond?"

Jake: "Cause they're uncultured. Remember?"

Marc: "Oh yeah."

(lyrical_sunshine pokes her head in. "I resent the lazy Irish comment!)

(twit pokes her head in. "And I resent the uncultured Brit comment! We created the Yanks' history!")

"Coo, patriotism!" ~Kit

"Oh, stuff it kids." ~the Raven

("Fine then." *Sunny offers her hand to twit* "Truce?")

Marc: "Okay, so I'm outnumbered by the Euro-type peoples. But seriously, why DO you call it a pond?"

Elizabeth: I think that your religion isn't based on your family, but what you belive and/or practice.

Daniel: You done with the money for the others, Liz?

Elizabeth: QUit calling me Liz! And yes, I got some. *hands out money*

Allyson: Such a waste.

*scene changes to inside Starbucks. Allyson orders first, followed by Elizabeth, then Daniel. The three of them sit down*

Daniel: You want the free biscotti, Li-

*Elizabeth glares at him*

Daniel: Beth?

Elizabeth: OK, I can tolerate that.

Allyson: Finally, I don't have to put up with your squaking.

"'Cos it's dirty and wet. Like a pond. Duh." ~the Raven

"I never call it the pond. What's the Atlantic Ocean?" ~Kit

"Ignorant street arab. It's the sea, man." ~the Raven

Marc: "Street Arab? Weird."

Vanessa: "I have a beautiful pond in my backyard..."

Marc: "It's still dirty. Your horses drink out of it." *orders a caramel latte with extra caramel*

Jake: "I'll eat Liz's free biscotti."

"You've got horses? What type? How many?" ~Rohsair

"Street kid, arab, urchin. Same. What's biscotti?" ~Kit

"Coffee. Ew. I want a coke." ~the Raven

Vanessa: "We have four quarter horses and one two-year-old Arabian. They're all rescues - we got them dirt cheap at the stockyards. Everyone thought they were useless, but my Dad's a miracle worker."

Marc: "Her entire family is up for Humanitarians of the Year. It's sickening."
