00:25Not a meal, but a tasty treat on the catwalk, honey.

00:32Mmm. That's cute.

00:43Not so loud, girl. Not so heavy-footed, girl.

00:46You really think you're worth that, Tiara? I am on the runway, girl.

00:49You have an explanation for that?

00:56No. Keep it.

00:58Tra-la-la-boom-dee-ay. She's trying to give some runway, and I'm not having it.

01:04You. You thought that was fashionable?

01:08And you have lights and a mirror at home? And you left home. Like that.

01:14Try harder. Please do.

01:32Oh, no. Oh, I'm not entertained.

01:35This is shitty.

02:11And what are you doing inside?

02:14Oh, you two are together.

02:18So interesting.

02:20Faster.

02:22Oh, you're not welcome.

02:40Quite, quite wonderful.
