FRED: Are you certain this is the place for us?

CORDELIA: Well, we could always get our outfits at 'Cave-girl's House of Burlap,' but that's just so last season. The guys are all renting tuxes. We gotta step up.

FRED: But aren't we - you know - poor?

CORDELIA: There is a custom amongst my people. It's called 'buying a dress, wearing it once, and returning it the next day.' It's all about hiding the tags while it's on.

FRED: Oh. Okay. I'm very excited about tonight. I love the ballet! I mean, I haven't seen that much, but my family used to go to the Nutcracker every Christmas, and I had my first sexual dream about the Mouseking.

(Cordy gives Fred a look and half nods before holding up a dress.)

CORDELIA: Face me.

(Holds the dress up against Fred then shakes her head and puts it back on the rack.)

FRED: Can I ask you something?

CORDELI: I think you guys are perfect for each other. (smiling at Fred's surprise) I have magic powers, remember?

FRED: It -it's not like we've said anything or... but he's so sweet... and commanding, and I feel so comfortable around him... I mean, I don't even know if he feels...

CORDELIA: He feels.

FRED: Feelings?

CORDELIA: Oh, there is definite feelings. We find the right outfit for tonight, there may be actual feeling.
