Day 100
March 21st
JILL: G’evening.
DANA: Hi Jill.
JILL: So. Today’s the day, huh?
DANA: Yep.
JILL: I try not to be but honestly I’m nervous as fuck.
DANA: Yeah, I get you. Everything hinges on this, huh?
JILL: Kind of a turning point, and after the last few months I could do with fewer dramatic turning points in my life.
DANA: No kidding. Everything changes after today. Even I’m nervous. Kinda scared.
JILL: I don’t think I’ve ever seen you scared before, Boss. I didn’t think anything could scare you.
DANA: Well if it was me there’d be nothing to be scared of. Nothing gets past me. But this isn’t in my hands any more.
JILL: ...I don’t think I like seeing you like this, Boss. Being around you always seems comforting somehow, like you’re invincible and that extends to the rest of us. Seeing you afraid like this is sort of worrying.
DANA: You think I like being like this? I’ve been waiting for years for this and one bad move could ruin everything!
JILL: Wait, bad move?
DANA: Obviously it’s already been decided but I won’t know until it happens! There’s nothing I can do but sit and watch to see how it plays out?
JILL: Boss…
DANA: ARGH! I’m so on edge! Makes me want to get back in there and beat the shit out of him myself!
JILL: Boss I think we’re talking about different things.
DANA: Are we not talking about the main event?
JILL: Main event?
DANA: Yasunori Kato vs some other guy, I didn't pay attention to the name! I’ve been waiting years to see that bastard get what’s coming to him, and now I have to wait to see if someone else can do it? It’s infuriating! I’m furious!
JILL: And here I thought you were taking something seriously.
DANA: I’ll have you know I take wrestling extremely seriously, and you should too.
JILL: Okay, but I was talking about...you know what, nevermind.
DANA: What was it? What’s worrying you Jill?
JILL: Well, the bar.
DANA: What about it?
JILL: You told me today was the day we’re going to find out if we’re being shut down or not. You know, whether or not I’ll still have a job after today. Still work here for you...and with Gil.
GIL: SOMEONE CALL ME?
JILL: DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT!
GIL: THAT JUST MAKES ME WORRY MORE!
DANA: Wait, you mean nobody told you?
JILL: Told me what?
DANA: The news.
JILL: What news? Do we know already?
DANA: Well, I mean-
[CRASH]
DANA: I’m pretty sure that came from my office. Gotta go!
JILL: Boss, wait, I and she’s gone. Okay. Guess I’ll find out later.
[Jukebox set]
JILL: Time to mix drinks and change lives...maybe for the last time.
DONOVAN: Hey! Get me the usual!
JILL: (Fan-fucking-tastic)
JILL: Hello to you too.
DONOVAN: Yeah, yeah, hello, usual here!
JILL: (The usual, huh)

JILL: Here.
DONOVAN: That’s better.
JILL: So what brings you here today Mr Donovan?
JILL: (Besides complaining about your work, my service, the bar, and everything you lay eyes on)
DONOVAN: My interns have betrayed me.
JILL: (With the way you treat them I’m surprised it took this long)
JILL: How so?
DONOVAN: They won’t work anymore! They’re demanding I stop making them compete for a job and actually pay them for their writing!
JILL: Sounds...reasonable?
DONOVAN: Hardly! How am I supposed to keep the newspaper going if I have to actually pay for the articles?
JILL: By producing quality articles that bring in more readers on a variety of topics that attract as many readers as possible while still keeping up quality of writing and trustworthy news?
DONOVAN: Ha! With bullshit like that you’d almost make good PR!
JILL: (It would be an idea if I do lose my job here...if the thought of working for Donovan didn’t make me want to burn things)
JILL: Can I get you anything else?
DONOVAN: Yeah, the usual.
JILL: (The usual again. What a surprise)

JILL: Here you go.
DONOVAN: People don’t want quality! They want trash! Delicious trash! And that’s what I give them! But I don’t pay for trash!
JILL: Maybe keep the current...um, trash, but expand out to add in some more segments of actual news? Slowly entice readers to the harder hitting stuff that you’re paying your writers for?
DONOVAN: That’s the problem!
JILL: Oh?
DONOVAN: Get me a Gut Punch first.
JILL: (Gut Punch for the boss who’s lost control)

JILL: One Gut Punch. So, what’s the problem?
DONOVAN: Sounds like you didn’t read the article they put in today.
JILL: (He’s right, I didn’t. I was so worried about my job and the bar and Boss today I forgot to read the paper)
JILL: Pretend I didn’t.
DONOVAN: Those bitches have refused to write anything! And they’re telling everyone to not work for me!
JILL: (The Augmented Eye has unionised)
DONOVAN: Apparently I’m a tyrant! A cheapskate! A chauvinist! For fuck’s sake, what does that last one even mean?
JILL: (He doesn’t know what that means? That explains plenty)
JILL: Well…
DONOVAN: Whatever, I don’t have time for this. I have to go arrange some meeting, apparently someone complained to some of the investors and now they want to discuss my work ethic or some shit.
JILL: (I suppose it’s too much to hope that he gets any comeuppance, but hopefully at least the writers will get better treatment)
JILL: Welcome to Valhalla.
STREAMING-CHAN: It’s everyone’s favourite Streaming-Chan back again!
JILL: (Whyyyyyyyyyyy)
STREAMING-CHAN: It’s time for another spike in viewers. Happens every time I come here. I have no idea why but I’ll exploit the hell out of it!
JILL: (Exploit is the word I think)
STREAMING-CHAN: Hey! Flat Bartender! Can I get something that goes down real easy?
JILL: (Something that goes down easy? I guess something sweet?)

JILL: Here.
STREAMING-CHAN: Thanks! Now, since viewers always spike when I go to sleep in here, time to down these sleeping pills I got from a shady market! Woo, this is gonna boost the stream to numbers you’ve never seen before!
JILL: Please don’t go to sleep in-wait, I really don’t think you should take those with the drink I just-
[THUD]
JILL: ...right. Gil, can I get a hand over here?
GIL: Is. Um. Is she gonna be okay?
JILL: I have no idea.
GIL: Okay, I’ll get her somewhere safe and call someone.
JILL: Thanks, Gil.
DOROTHY: Oh, she’ll be fine, don’t worry.
JILL: Hi Dorothy.
DOROTHY: Hi honey!
JILL: How do you know she’ll be okay? Or do I not want to know?
DOROTHY: Oh there was a lady once who had a thing for being intoxicated and half asleep and wanted me to take care of her, and one time she took it way overboard and-
JILL: Okay, didn’t want to know, what can I get you?
DOROTHY: A Piano Woman, please honey!
JILL: Coming up.
JILL: (Piano Woman. She only has those when really happy or really down. I wonder which one she is today?)

JILL: Here.
DOROTHY: Thanks honey!
JILL: So what’s the occasion?
DOROTHY: I don’t know yet. I was hoping to ask you?
JILL: Why would I know the occasion?
DOROTHY: Well I heard today was the day the decision was going to be made whether or not the bar was going to stay open. So this is to either celebrate or commiserate. I don’t know which yet.
JILL: How did you know that the bar was in trouble? I’m pretty sure that’s not public information.
DOROTHY: Well there was a guy who loved talking, and given that I had my mouth full-
JILL: Okay, say no more please.
DOROTHY: So? Which is it?
JILL: I don’t know yet.
DOROTHY: Awwww, that’s boring! How are we supposed to know what we’re drinking to then?
JILL: I don’t have a drink.
DOROTHY: Then get yourself one, honey.
JILL: I’m still working, I’m not going to do that.
DOROTHY: Suit yourself, I’ll drink for the both of us.
JILL: Are you working tonight?
DOROTHY: I’ve got some work later, but I’m taking a break for a bit to spend time at my favourite bar with my favourite bartender for maybe the last time. A girl’s allowed to have some time off.
JILL: Alright then, what else can I get you?
DOROTHY: A Sugar Rush please!
JILL: (Sugar Rush. Seems fitting.)

JILL: All done.
DOROTHY: Thanks honey! So when are you going to get the news?
JILL: Honestly I have no idea. I’m kind of on edge about it. I’d like to know whether or not I’m going to have a job tomorrow.
DOROTHY: Well if it makes you feel better, if you don’t I can offer another cuddle night for the price of a soda.
JILL: Thanks, but I’m not going to take away more work for you. Not after you did that for me last time.
DOROTHY: Honey, you have had a hell of a few months, and you’re my friend. If you need a cuddle night, you get a cuddle night. No arguments!
DANA: She’s right. I won’t take no for an answer.
JILL: Boss! Where did you come from?
DANA: My office.
JILL: Well, yeah, but...ugh, nevermind. Any news?
DANA: You still haven’t been told?
JILL: Told what?
DANA: About the bar?
JILL: Okay, what about the bar?
GIL: Boss! A hand please! The streamer has, uh, well you might need to come see.
DANA: Back in a minute!
JILL: Boss, wait, can you...no, clearly not.
DOROTHY: So what’s the news?
JILL: I don’t know, she keeps running away before telling me.
DANA: OKAY BUT WHY THOUGH?
GIL: I DON’T KNOW!
JILL: Sounds like something I best not get involved with.
DOROTHY: Ah, so that’s the other reason you’re worried about the bar closing.
JILL: Hmm?
DOROTHY: I’ve said it before, your face lights up like a MegaChristmas tree whenever you see your boss. You’re worried you won’t see her anymore if this place closes.
JILL: What? I mean, yeah, my boss is cool and smart and funny and...and stuff, but I’m just worried about having a job.
DOROTHY: Oh, honey, you should see what I see your body does when your boss comes into view.
JILL: It does not!
DOROTHY: No, not like that. I mean, probably, but I wouldn’t know unless you took your clothes off. I mean everything else. You get so happy whenever you see her. It’s adorable!
JILL: That’s...anyway, can I get you anything else?
DOROTHY: You can’t change the subject that easily! Why don’t you do something? Ask her out. Confess. Kiss her passionately.
JILL: I couldn’t do that!
DOROTHY: You know you want to!
JILL: I...she’s my boss. And I have no idea if she thinks the same. And my last relationship didn’t exactly end well.
DOROTHY: And you’ll never move past bad experiences if you don’t start seeking good ones.
JILL: That’s surprisingly wise from you.
DOROTHY: I’m not just a pretty face and a vibrating tongue, you know.
JILL: I mean it. Thanks, Dorothy.
DOROTHY: You’re welcome, honey! Can I get a drink for the road?
JILL: Sure, what do you want?
DOROTHY: Hmm, can I get a Bad Touch please?
JILL: Surehehehehe...sure.
JILL: (Dorothy wants...haha, Dorothy wants a BaHAHAHAHAHAd Touch)

JILL: Hehe...here.
DOROTHY: Thanks honey! The first Bad Touch of the night, and definitely not the last.
JILL: PFFFFFTHAHAHAHAHAHA, stop, please, I can’t!
DOROTHY: Now, I’ve got to head out, but I’ll try to be back later! If I’m not, assume the dirtiest thing you can imagine.
JILL: Bye, Dorothy.
GIL: I have no idea how that streaming girl managed it…
JILL: I suspect I don’t want to know.
GIL: Probably not.
JILL: Hell of a way for what might be our last night to go.
GIL: Last night? You mean nobody’s told you?
JILL: Told me what? Wait, am I the only person who doesn’t know?
GIL: I’m surprised Boss hasn’t told you.
JILL: Told me what?!
JAMIE: Good evening, Gil. Good evening, Jill.
GIL: Ah, Jamie, I’ll be right with you. I’ll tell you later Jill.
JILL: I...yeah, okay, whatever. Boss, I’m taking my break.
[Break]
[It’s now safe to keep playing]
JILL: I’m back!
SEI: Hi Jill!
JILL: Sei, hi! How are you?
SEI: I’m really good! I’m mostly healed up, at least enough that I can start regular exercises again! I lost a lot of muscle and a lot of my strength while I was recovering, and if I’m going to be a bodyguard I need to be at the top of my game, so I’m glad I’m clear to start doing that again!
JILL: It’s great to see you out of all those bandages. I haven’t seen you look this happy and alive since...well, uh…
SEI: Since before the bank?
JILL: Yeah, sorry, I didn’t mean to…
SEI: It’s fine! It happened, Jill, and it was awful, but it’s done and we’re moving past it now. Like I said, I’m pretty much entirely recovered, and I have a new job that I can actually start now.
JILL: Good to hear. Can I get you anything?
SEI: A Moonblast please.
JILL: (A Moonblast is quickly becoming her usual)

JILL: Here.
SEI: Thank you!
JILL: So are you here for an occasion?
SEI: No, I’m going to be meeting Stella here. She has some business here tonight so she should be here in a bit.
JILL: (Business? What kind of business does Stella have here besides meeting Sei?)
JILL: How’s Stella doing?
SEI: She’s doing great! She’s been looking into business recently, apparently she wants to get into something like that. I don’t know many of the details to be honest, you might be better asking her.
JILL: Business? I feel a little rude asking this, but does Stella have a job? I kind of assumed she didn’t, given her family.
SEI: No, she doesn’t. At least, not right now, but I think she’s looking to get one? Or maybe to own some kind of business? Like I said, I’m not sure. Could I get another drink please?
JILL: Sure, what are you looking for?
SEI: Surprise me.
JILL: (Sei likes sweet drinks. She doesn’t have a high alcohol tolerance, but she’s not on duty tonight…)

STELLA: Yes, I am tonight. In fact, is Miss Dana around? We have business together.
JILL: (Business with Boss? What could it be about?)
JILL: Sure, I’ll call her over. HEY BOSS!
DANA: YEAH?
JILL: STELLA’S HERE, SHE WANTS TO TALK TO YOU!
DANA: COMING!
JILL: She’ll be a second.
STELLA: Thank you.
JILL: So you’re here on business? Am I allowed to ask what kind?
SEI: I’d like to know too.
DANA: Ah, Miss Hoshii, good to see you.
JILL: (Miss Hoshii? I don’t think I’ve ever seen Dana be this formal with anyone, not even Brian)
STELLA: Good evening, Miss Zane. I’m glad to tell you that everything has gone through and it’s all official and finalised.
DANA: Good to hear, thank you Miss Hoshii.
STELLA: Please, I don’t want to stand on ceremony in such a cosy bar. Call me Stella.
DANA: Only if you call me Dana.
STELLA: Certainly, Dana. I just need a signature here from you and one from Jill and everything will be official.
JILL: A signature from me? What’s happening?
STELLA: You mean nobody’s told you?
JILL: Told me what?
STELLA: About the bar.
JILL: I’ve had this conversation about seven times tonight. What is happening?
DANA: Oh right, yeah, I never told you.
JILL: Told me what?!
DANA: Stella bought the bar.
JILL: I...what?
SEI: I’m with you, what?
DANA: Yep, the BTC decided we weren’t bringing in enough and considering all the nightmares they’ve been having with smaller bars anyway they shut us down.
JILL: O-oh. So, we are being shut down.
JILL: (Shit. Shitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshit. Shit)
DANA: So Stella bought us out independently.
JILL: Wait, huh? You can do that?
STELLA: The BTC were looking to get it off their hands anyway. I came to them with an offer, there was negotiation, and we came to an agreement. The transfer happened this morning. As of today, I am the new owner of VA-11 Hall-A.
JILL: So...do I still have a job?
DANA: Oh that’s not even the best part.
STELLA: I know how I come across sometimes, but in the short time I’ve been coming to this bar, I have really become attached. I love this bar. And I feel like I really owe it something. And you, Jill.
JILL: Me?
STELLA: Even though I was a stranger, just a client, you were there for me in a way nobody else could be after the Apollo Trust incident. If it hadn’t been for meeting that detective here, and talking to you, I don’t know if I would have ever found Sei again after that mess.
SEI: We would have found each other Stella, I’m sure of it.
STELLA: Maybe so, but this place and you, Jill, really helped me out. So when I heard that the BTC were going to close you down, I decided I wanted to return the favour. I’ve been wanting to get into some form of business anyway, and I thought that a place I really loved would be a good place to start.
JILL: I...I’m flattered, and glad, I really am. Thank you, Ste-,um, Miss Hoshii.
STELLA: Jill, same applies to you. Please, keep calling me Stella.
JILL: Sure thing, um, Stella. Thank you.
STELLA: Now, I just need a signature here please.
JILL: From me? For what?
STELLA: I’d like to make you and Dana my partners.
JILL: Partners?
STELLA: In ownership of the bar. I’ll still be dealing with the higher management, and you and Dana still deal with the day-to-day running of the bar, but we’ll all be part owners of Valhalla. That way, if anything happens and the bar faces more troubles, you’ll still be in a good place and have part ownership of it.
JILL: What about Gil?
DANA: What about Gil?
GIL: I HEARD MY NAME?
DANA: DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT!
GIL: WHY DOES EVERYONE KEEP SAYING THAT?
DANA: He’ll be fine. We’ll take care of him.
STELLA: So, what do you say Jill?
JILL: Um...yes. Yes, absolutely.
STELLA: Fantastic! Then it’s official, the three of us now own VA-11 Hall-A as an independent bar.
JILL: So, are we going to have to replace all the BTC ingredients and handbooks? Learn a whole new set of drinks?
DANA: Technically we’re still affiliated with the BTC, so we’ll still use their standards and operations and branding, but they won’t deal directly with the costs anymore, that will be through Stella. And us.
JILL: So...it’s a win for everyone? That feels too simple.
SEI: Sometimes the simplest answer is the one that works for everyone. If it works, don’t question it, just enjoy it.
JILL: I guess? This is going to be weird, but good I think?
STELLA: I hope so. I have to sign a couple more documents, but I leave it in your hands. Glad to be doing business with you both.
SEI: Bye! Thanks Jill! Thanks Dana!
DANA: Thanks!
JILL: Thanks!
DANA: So.
JILL: So, we’re business partners now I guess?
DANA: Yep.
JILL: You’re smiling very wide right now, Boss. It’s kind of worrying. I don’t know what that smile means but I know you’re planning something.
DANA: You don’t have to call me that anymore. I’m not your boss. We’re equal partners now. On the same level.
JILL: Okay, but I’m still going to call you Boss. It would feel weird not-mmmmmmmmf!
DANA: I’ve been waiting so fucking long to do that you have no idea.
JILL: Boss...Dana...you just kissed me.
DANA: Well done for noticing.
JILL: You...I...huh?
DANA: Gods, I’ve been wanting to do that forever. And I know you’ve been waiting for me to do that. Sorry Jill, but everyone has been able to see it for ages. Even Gil.
JILL: But...I...why didn’t...what?
DANA: Well, I was your boss, I couldn’t exactly do it then. Now I’ve got nothing holding me back.
JILL: I...um...I don’t…
DANA: Oh, shit, Sei forgot her jacket. I can probably still catch up. SEI, YOUR JACKET!
JILL: …
DANA: GIL, THIS JACKET IS TOO SMALL AND I’M STUCK, HELP ME GET IT OFF!
GIL: I’LL GRAB SOMETHING SLIPPERY!
JILL: I...um...what just...I…
GABY: Jill.
JILL: WAHHH!
GABY: WAHHH!
JILL: GABY! UM...um, sorry. Gaby. Hi. How long have you been there?
GABY: Long enough to see your boss kiss you and you shut down.
JILL: Right. Yes. ANYWAY. Welcome to Valhalla.
GABY: It’s okay, Jill, I’m already here.
JILL: Can I...get you something? No alcohol, but-
GABY: Yeah, I know. I wouldn’t say no to something sweet, though.
JILL: (Gaby wants something sweet. I’m not serving her alcohol, but I’m sure I can find her something)

JILL: Here.
GABY: Thanks!
JILL: So what brings you here today?
GABY: Well I heard that the bar might be closing and I wanted to see you before then.
JILL: How did you know that?
GABY: I saw it on danger/u.
JILL: (How did danger/u know that?)
GABY: So? Is it closing?
JILL: Actually, no. We were going to be, but a regular just told me that she bought the bar. She owns it now and is keeping it open. In fact, I’m apparently going to be a partner owner. So I partly own the bar along with my bo-um, my former boss Dana.
GABY: And that’s why she kissed you?
JILL: Um. Yes. Well. Um, you see.
GABY: You like her, don’t you?
JILL: I mean, I…
GABY: Jill.
JILL: ...yeah. Yes, I do. I have for a while.
GABY: Then what’s the problem?
JILL: I’m surprised you’re encouraging this?
GABY: Why, because of Lenore?
JILL: I wasn’t going to be so direct about it, but kind of.
GABY: Jill, my sister might not be around anymore, and you might not have been together for a while before then, but I still consider you family. If she makes you happy, go for it.
JILL: I don’t...she kissed me, yes, but I don’t know if she wants to do more than that? Besides, my last relationship…
GABY: Jill. I loved Lenore. You loved Lenore. But she’s dead. We’ve mourned her. We probably always will be. But there’s more to life than that.
JILL: I just...I don’t want to betray her memory, you know?
GABY: Moving on and being happy isn’t betraying my sister’s memory. What would be betraying her memory would be wallowing in it forever and never letting yourself be happy. She wouldn’t want that.
JILL: Why am I consistently surprised at you being more mature than me?
GABY: Because you’re unbelievably stubborn.
JILL: So are you.
GABY: Yeah, but I’m a child, I’m allowed to be. You’re an adult.
DANA: She’s right.
JILL: WAHHH! Why is everyone sneaking up on me today?
DANA: Like it’s hard?
JILL: Boss! Uh, Dana! Uh, I mean, uh-
GABY: Jill, please breathe.
JILL: Okay...I’m good. Hi, Boss.
DANA: Hi.
JILL: How much of that conversation did you hear?
DANA: Most of it. I think. Sei and Stella weren’t far away and I got the jacket off pretty quick.
JILL: (I’d like to get that jacket off quick what are you doing stop it Jill stop it stop it)
GABY: So? Something to say, Jill?
JILL: I, uh, I mean, Boss…
GABY: Oh, for fuck’s sake…
JILL: Gaby! Who taught you to say that?
GABY: You did.
JILL: Oh. Right. Yeah, I probably did.
GABY: Miss Dana.
DANA: Hi.
GABY: Jill wants to go on a date with you.
JILL: (Please no)
DANA: I know.
JILL: WHAT?
DANA: I literally kissed her earlier, I know. I’m just waiting for her to say it.
JILL: …
DANA: …
GABY: …
JILL: …
GIL: NOT AGAIN!
JILL: Oh, what has streamer girl done now?
DANA: Who knows? That girl is a lot.
JILL: Okay, so, um, Boss...Dana. I...I’m glad you kissed me earlier. I’ve been wanting to do that for a long time.
DANA: I know. So have I.
GABY: I’m gonna leave you two alone. See if John over there needs a hand.
JILL: His name’s Gil.
GABY: No it isn’t.
JILL: So, Dana.
DANA: Jill.
JILL: I...you know…
DANA: Jill, if you don’t say it you’ll never say it.
JILL: What is that supposed to mean? That’s just the same thing twice.
DANA: I dunno. I heard it somewhere and it works.
JILL: Look, um, I don’t have the best track record with women. Or men. And the last time I tried...well, you saw how it ended up.
DANA: Hey, my last relationship crashed and burned spectacularly too. That’s life. And you’ll never move on from bad experiences if you don’t start looking for good ones.
JILL: You’re the second person to tell me that tonight.
DANA: Well it’s true.
JILL: Yeah, it is. And I do want to try. And, well, I really am glad you kissed me earlier.
DANA: So am I. Wanna grab a drink somewhere. How about my place, tonight?
ANNA: Do it!
JILL: (NOT NOW!)
ANNA: Tee hee!
JILL: I, um, I mean, I need to feed my cat tonight, so…
DANA: Right. Yeah, okay, I get it.
JILL: So, how about my place, tonight?
DANA: Sounds good. I want to go see my baby Fore anyway.
JILL: Fore is my baby.
DANA: Not anymore. I love him, he’s mine now.
JILL: I’m not sure that’s how it works.
DANA: Well you’ll have to fight me for him.
JILL: Boss I’ve seen you fight, I’m not going anywhere near that.
DANA: Then I win. Fore’s my baby now.
JILL: I...okay?
DANA: OH SHIT!
JILL: What? What’s wrong?
DANA: The main event! I have to see if Kato got what he deserved!
JILL: Yep, that’s Boss alright. It is going to be weird trying not to call her that.
ANNA: Try calling her that in bed.
JILL: Absolutely not, shut up.
GIL: But I didn’t say anything!
ANNA: Inner voice!
JILL: (Dammit!)
ANNA: Aww, but really, proud of you. Have a nice date!
JILL: (Do NOT do this tonight please)
ANNA: Wouldn’t dream of it. Enjoy!
DANA: He won.
JILL: Shit.
DANA: Ah, well, I’ll kick the piss out of him later. I’ve got more important things tonight. Like you.
JILL: What about the streamer sleeping over there?
DANA: She'll still be here tomorrow with what she took. We'll sort her out then.
JILL: How do you know that?
DANA: I think you already know the answer to that question.
JILL: So, um...shall we? Sorry if I’m a bit nervous, it’s been a while since I did this.
DANA: Yeah, well, you’re cute when you’re flustered like that. Let’s go get a drink.
JILL: Sure.
