  Denise : [Terry's best friend Denise interrupts Terry in her writing class]  Terry...

  Terry : Denise, why aren't you in Science?

  Denise : They're showing a film strip. Everyone left. I have to talk to you.

  Terry : [Terry scoffs]  Denise, I'm really into this article.

  Denise : I know, but I need your advice and you are my best friend. And I tried to deal with this myself, okay, and I'm really stressed out. Three guys want to take me out Saturday night and I'm not too thrilled about any of them, but I think I should go out with someone in case I don't have a real boyfriend by the prom.

  Terry : [Terry rolls her eyes]  This is serious.

  Denise : I know.

  Terry : [Terry smiles]  All right, on a scale of lame to cute, who rates the least low.

  Denise : They're all lame. Put Roger in a Rent-a-Tux, he might move up to semi-lame.

  Terry : Looks like you're going to have to skip the prom.
