Sasha's mother: Is there an appropriate greeting? (Awkward silence)
Anyways, come in (Opens the door widely)
Sit on the sofa, lemme get that girl for you.
Antoine : Thank you

Sasha: (Comes in) You?!
What are you doing here? How did you get to know my house?
Antoine : Hey, I'm sorry I came without Informing you, I just wanted to…
Sasha: Get out!
Antoine : C'mon, just a little time with your boyfriend won't hurt
Sasha's mother: (Comes in) Boyfriend? I knew something was fishy
Sasha: It's none of your biz. Leave us alone
Sasha's mother: Whatever. (Sniffs a cocaine in her hand). Just wanna say, not an appropriate way to treat your boyfriend.
Sasha: I didn't ask for any advice!
Sasha's mother: (Leaving) If you wanna make out, don't forget to use a condom! I don't support abortions
Sasha: Ah!! Such a mother!

I don't know why this guy's so lovey dovey towards me. And the stupid Kris doesn't seem to care
Antoine : (Comes in) Here are the chocolates!
Sasha: (Takes them) Thanks.
(They sit and eat together)
About my mom…. She's not always like that. I mean, sometimes she behaves well and other times she doesn't
Antoine : It's fine. I understand
Besides, if you get to know my mom, they aren't far from being the same
Sasha: She takes drugs too?
Antoine : Except that
Sasha: The thing is, she's a little not okay, like a mental problem, I don't like people seeing her.
I feel ashamed that you meant her (Covers her face)
Antoine : Hey, I don't mind. Really babe, I don't.
Sasha: Well, thanks I guess (Faces him and smiles)
Antoine : What are we gonna do together?
Sasha: (Suspicious) What are you insinuating?
Antoine : (Laughs out loud)
Sasha: Why are you laughing?
Antoine : I just can't help but imagine what's going on in your head. (Laughs)
Sasha: There's nothing going on in my head
Antoine : There is and I know exactly what it is
Sasha: What's it
Antoine : Your mind is going dirty.
Sasha: Not true!
Antoine : It is too
Sasha: Fine, it was!
You kinda made my mind go far.
Antoine : Don't be scared, pretty. I'm not like those American guys, I don't make love like that
Sasha: Yeeesh! Must you say the word?
Antoine : (Laughs) But, I can't promise that I won't kiss
Sasha: Shut up. (Takes a pillow on the sofa and stones him)
Antoine : Pillow fight!
(They pillow fight till they are tired)
Sasha: I can hardly breathe!
Antoine : That's what you get for fighting king Antoine
Sasha: Hmm, king?
Antoine : Yeah. And you are my queen. (Sasha blushes and Antoine smiles triumphantly)
Sasha: Anyways king Antoine, I got to practice. There's an NBA competition for girls between Royal and Saint Louis, and I gotta make us win

Antoine : How lovely
In Safari's boutique, Lilly can been seen doing some shopping, she took her sister's credit card after she (her sister) forced her to use it to get some good clothes for herself as she deserves it.
Lilly has clothes but they are usually handed down from her sister. She never bothers her to buy new ones for her because her sister takes care of every need and she doesn't want to be a burden to her. Now her sister said she should get new clothes for herself as she wants, even though her clothes doesn't seem like hand me downs
Meanwhile, Brian is in the same boutique looking for some good shoe to buy for his mother after she nagged him to.
He couldn't find a good shoe because he doesn't even know which one to buy and as he is searching, he sees Lilly and goes to meet her
Brian: Hey Lil
Lilly: Brian, Hi
Brian: How are you?
Lilly: I'm good and you?
Brian: I'm fine.
Seems like you came to get clothes for yourself
Lilly: Yes
And you, what are you doing in the female's session
Brian: Came to get a shoe for mom.
She nagged me to
Lilly: So you can't buy something for her without being nagged at?
Brian: Not entirely, Lil
Lilly: I prefer you call me by my full name
Brian: Or I can just call you babe? (Lilly chuckles). You are not denying..
Lilly: Just don't call me Lil, okay?
It sounds like an abbreviation of little
Brian: Babe, it is then
Lilly: (Rolls her eyes)
I have been trying to buy some clothes here and they all seem good, I can't choose
Brian: Let me help you with that. Take whatever clothes and try them on, I will tell which of them fit
Lilly: This is not some fashion show Brian, I'm not doing.
Brian: I will pay for the clothes. (No reply) C'mon, I just wanna see the beautiful you in different clothes, pleaseeeeee (makes puppy eyes)
Lilly: Fine, as far as you are paying
Besides, I will help you get a good shoe for your mom
Brian: Perfect!
