Cher: Miss Stoeger, I would just like to say that physical education in this school is a disgrace. I mean, standing in line for forty minutes is hardly aerobically effective. I doubt I've worked off the calories in a stick of Carefree gum

Well it's like when I had this garden party for my father's birthday, right? I put R.S.V.P. 'cause it was a sit-down dinner. But some people came that like did not R.S.V.P. I was like totally buggin'. I had to haul ass to the kitchen, redistribute the food, and squish in extra place settings. But by the end of the day it was, like, the more the merrier.

And in conclusion may I please remind you it does not say R.S.V.P. on the Statue of Liberty. Thank you very much

Cher: Oh, that'd be reason enough for me.

img

Cher: So okay, I don't want to be a traitor to my generation and all but I don't get how guys dress today.
