DO WE KNOW YOU? WELL, WE HAVE BEEN IN THE SAME SCHOOL, BUT NO. SO HERE'S THE THING. BILLY'S MY BOYFRIEND. AND WE'RE GOING TO THE BALL TOGETHER. IF I THREW A STICK, AMBER, WOULD YOU CHASE IT? EXCUSE ME? WELL, LET ME BE CLEAR THEN. WE VALUE YOUR OPINION ABOUT AS MUCH AS WE VALUE A WHITE CRAYON. MUMMY AND DADDY MIGHT HAVE ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD, ALAN, BUT CLEARLY ISN'T BY TASTE. AMBER, I'M SORRY. IT'S NOT THAT I DON'T LIKE YOU, IT'S JUST THAT IF YOU'RE ON LIFE SUPPORT I'D UNPLUG YOU TO CHARGE MY THIRD PHONE. WHY DON'T YOU SPEND A LITTLE LESS TIME WORRYING ABOUT US AND A LITTLE MORE TIME WORRYING ABOUT YOUR EYEBROWS?

Do we know you? Well, we have been in the same school, but no. So here's the thing. Billy's my boyfriend. And we're going to the ball together. If I threw a stick, Amber, would you chase it? Excuse me? Well, let me be clear then. We value your opinion about as much as we value a white crayon. Mummy and daddy might have all the money in the world, Alan, but clearly isn't by taste. Amber, I'm sorry. It's not that I don't like you, it's just that if you're on life support I'd unplug you to charge my third phone. Why don't you spend a little less time worrying about us and a little more time worrying about your eyebrows?
