C - Hi Marta! This is a new short episode about dating, let's call it the B-Side of dating, does that sound good?
M – Great, we're going to talk with a couple of friends today about their dating experiences.
C – Have you found some MOVERS AND SHAKERS ? People who really HAVE THEIR FINGER ON THE PULSE of the dating scene?
M – well...they have a pulse. First off, I think it's a good idea to get a teenager's point of view on dating today.
C - Oh good, are we going to talk to Ashley?
M - Yes, providing that she can hear her phone ring above her iPod blowing out what's left of her eardrums. Hello, Ashley?
Ashley - ''Hold on....yeah, I'll have a double mango smoothie to go.''
M - Ashley, are you at the mall again? I thought you had maxed out your credit card?
A - Marta? Is that you?
M - Yes, dear.... turn off the music...
A - What?
M - Turn off the music or I'm hanging up now!''
A - Okaaaaayyy, but KILLER SONG right?
M - Yes, Ashley. I don't know if I'd call it music but...
A - ...you look pretty on your website. I showed all my friends. We loooooooove your eyeshadow. Where did you get it?
M - Ashley, you can't spend any more money. Honey, we wanted to talk to you about dating. Do you have any advice for us?
A - Debbie is a SKANK.
M - Ok, and by ''skank'' you mean a girl of low moral values?
A - I mean Debbie the Skank. She talks bad about my best friend Kellie, like, all the time.
M - What happened, Ashley?
A - I don't want to talk about it.
M - Oh, come on.
A - No.
M - ok, I'll buy you that eye shadow you wanted.
A - OK, Debbie is such a skank. She like totally stole Kellie's boyfriend and I'm all like :''You should kick her ass!'' And I'm all like : “Whatever” And she's all like : ''Whatever'' and I'm like ''Yeah...
Cindy - Is that your office phone ringing?
M - Yes, hold on Ashley, let's see who it is... Hello? This is Marta Innocenti...
Debbie - Girl you don't know me! You don't know me! Call me a skank!
M - Debbie is that you?
D - that's right. Damn! Put me on! I wanna talk to her!
M - Ashley, we have Debbie on the line now and I'm putting her through.
D - Girl, you don't know me!
A - I know you're a skank. Oh excuse me- a girl of low-moral value! You stole Kellie's boyfriend, right before prom!
D - That's right, and I'll get your man too if you keep SCARFING DOWN those double mango smoothies. Because let's face it, you're looking a little CHUBBY !
A - Oh no you didn't just go there!
D - That's right, that's right! I did! What? what?
M - I can't take it any more
Cindy - ...did you just hang up on them?
M - yeah, of course!
C - ...Awesome!
M - Ashley forgot to mention that she stole Debbie's boyfriend last year over Spring Break in Cancun.
C - oh, the drama!
M - All right, let's move on. So today we've heard a teenager's perspective on dating.
C - Right. Debbie is a skank.
M - that's it.
C - Do you think they're still arguing?
M - Well, probably... especially if Ashley's father is still paying for her cell phone bill. So Cindy, I think we should provide our listeners with a little ''old school'' dating advice now.
C - Oh no, who else have you found?
Barb - Hello!
M - Barb?
B - Hey, Y'all quit that. I can't hear nothin'. Y'all I'm on the phone!
