Jill: Why do we bother putting the damn chairs away? We're just gonna have another meeting tomorrow Marjorie: There's ladies' Zumba in the morning Bonnie: What is that, like a Kegel thing? Tightening the old hoo-ha? Wendy: It's a dance-based exercise class, but your la-la does get a workout Jill: Guys, we're all over 12. We can say "vagina". Christy: I did Zumba drunk once. Got kicked out. Maybe 'cause I kept yelling "Zumba!" And I peed in my leotard

Tammy: (phone chimes) Oh, my God Bonnie: What? Tammy: I just got a text from this guy I met at The Home Depot yesterday Bonnie: Wait, like, "met a guy" met a guy? You didn't tell me that. Spill. Tammy: Well, he works there. I needed to get a light switch, but I wasn't sure if I needed a 20-amp or if a 15-amp would cover it. So then I– Bonnie: Get to the man part. Tammy: So Rick–that's what his lifting belt said–swooped in and said even if I only needed a 15, a 20 should be fine. Bonnie: And then he pushed you up against the wall and kissed you. Sorry, I just got to make the story better. Tammy: He asked for my number, I didn't think he'd use it. Now he wants to know "What's up?" How do I even respond to that? Christy: How about "Nothing much, what's up with you?" Jill: Are you nuts? You want to sound busy, in demand. Tell him you're at a gala. No, wait. You met him at Home Depot. Tell him you're at a county fair. Christy: Personally, I don't think you should start a relationship off on a lie. Go with "not much. Tammy: Oh, man, which tiny blonde should I believe? Bonnie: Well, Christy's my daughter and I love her, but if you want any hope of a romantic life, listen to Jill. [Tammy types in "At a fair"] Christy: Hey, I date! Marjorie: You do. Not recently, but you do. [Tammy gets a text back asking for a date, she begins to text back "Anytime"] Jill: No, no, no. You're eating funnel cake at a fair, remember? Wendy: Yeah, you're not just staring at your phone like some kind of Christy. Christy: I don't do that! Bonnie: I blame myself. It's why I'm trying to do better with Tammy. Christy: Marjorie, everyone's picking on me. Marjorie: I know, and the fact that they're right doesn't justify it. Christy: You know what? My homework is more fun than this. And yeah, that's a dig, guys. It's a dig!
