I've taken my bra off, it's all over. No way I'm strapping that thing back on again. — Grace
| Jack: | That song's been stuck in my head for days. |
| Will: | Well, sing something different. |
| Jack: | You don't think I didn't think of that? That thing swats away other songs like Lindsay Lohan swats away second chances. |
| Will: | We could still go out. It's early. |
| Grace: | Oh no, once I've taken my bra off it's all over. No way I'm strapping that thing back on again. |
| Jack: | This says pepperoni pizza but there's no pepperoni on it, just crop circles with cheese. |
| Grace: | It came that way! |
