DAWN: Oh, god. I can't believe it.

LISA: (OS) It's not that bad.

DAWN: (disbelieving) How can you say it's not that bad?

LISA (OS) I just don't think it's that big a deal.

DAWN: Kevin Berman called me a freak in front of everybody. (shrugs) No, that's no big deal.

LISA: He didn't say you were a freak.

DAWN: Forget it.

LISA: He just said you were ... freaky. Which, you know, freaky can be ... sort of cool.

A bell rings.

DAWN: You know? My big sister could really beat the crap out of her. (Lisa nods) I mean, really really. (Blows her nose) Okay. What do you think? (Turns to face Lisa) Can I show my face?

LISA: You're good to go. We're gonna be late anyway.
