“Who you fuck is your business. I’m not making it any of mine.”

“$1,000?? To do what?!”

“An M.B.A. is a degree you pick up in college. It’s mostly worthless in the real world.”

“What are you looking at, bitch?”

“Tough break, huh?”

“( S/he/they ) looks better than a 10 inch dick, and you know it.”

“Would you have told me about it if I hadn’t come here?”

“You can TEACH them to get it down, none of them have heat.”

“No one’s gonna take my lead anyway, I haven’t missed a show in eight years.”

“Does that piss you off because you’re jealous, or because I beat you to the punch?”

“You fuck him for the spot? Or you fuck him cause you wanted to? I say you did it for the spot.”

“You don’t wanna piss me off, now that we’re friends.”
