Morena: (laughs) How about Rodriguez?

Alicia: (hisses angrily) That useless guy...

Morena: So you've broken up with him?

Alicia: The guy fuckin' ran away from his own damn house and I haven't seen him since then.

Morena: Ohhh

Alicia: Babe, I'm in need of a job, Please help me...

Morena: It's ok. I'll give you a job here in Morena's Place.

Alicia: Really? Thank you so much Morena, You so nice...

Morena: But before you can start this job, You'll need to go to a culinary school so you can learn how to cook properly.

Alicia: A culinary school?

Morena: Yes. I know of a very good culinary school and I'll tell you the place. It'll really help you in your cooking....A friend of mine, Isabella, used to be a terrible cook but now, She's arguably one of the best cooks that I know.

Alicia: Wow. I'mma try it out.

Morena: No problem. And when you've mastered the art of cooking then you can come back. You already have the position.

Alicia: Thank you very much Morena, God will bless you.

Morena: Amen. One more thing...

Alicia: What is it?

Morena: Alicia, If you're going to work here, I don't want any form of hooliganism. No chasing your colleague with a knife, No speaking vernacular English or ghetto talks. If you're going to work here, You'll need to behave yourself and also speak proper English.

Alicia: (smiles) No problem ma. That's better isn't it?

Morena: Absolutely.

Alicia: I should give you a hug...
