Eastman music student (complaining about another Eastman music student):

If you join the cult, you have to have that hairdo, and they don’t even have hairspray… No, I saw it, they have hairspray… I used to play volleyball, but you know, I’m older, I’d stand out.

Bad for me but I love it… He said he had to get a wife first, get hired, and then get a wife first… She doesn’t want to keep living like that. It’s costing her, God, I don’t even know, $200? $300 a month? But, let’s face it, she’s fat… Look at me. Would you fucking look at me when you say that… I’m shocked, I’m not that shocked, he never pays me on time. I just hope people know why I’m not there Monday…

Wow. Baby lust, apartment envy, food guilt, broken hearts, and lost jobs! It’s a dramatic night at Spin.

Starbucks Barista: The clap.

I miss Mike.

“Well, financially, we’re the same [Korean words] stock broker [Korean words] banker offers more flexibility for social functions and recreation.”

A young chubby girl talking on the phone to her father with two empty ice cream cartons and a plate in front of her:
