"It was a mistake!" " I'm so sorry." " You saved me." "Did I mention that one time when I yawned, and I'm pretty sure Sabrina didn't yawn after me?" "That's a sign of a sociopath." "I looked it up online!" "You have mentioned." "Several times." "I'm overdoing it with the Sabrina talk, aren't I?" "No." "Amy, (BLEEP) talking your ex with your best friend is a constitutional right." "But... it's been two weeks." "You're right." "I've spent way too much time overanalyzing her... crazy." "Yeah." "She's not worth it." "So let's go O.D. on fro-yo and not think about her." "Oh, I've missed fro-yo." "Sabrina couldn't do dairy." "Except for that one time she took a bite of my cheeseburger." "So many lies." "Hey, girls!" "Sorry to interrupt." "We just wanted to invite you to join us." "Yeah." "Diane's leading us in her year-end cleansing ritual." "Yeah, uh... no, thanks, Diane." "Well, are you sure?" "It's way cathartic." "We're symbolically burning things to "let go of" in the new year." "Actually, that sounds perfect, Diane." " This new year..."

" That too!" "See?" "Have you give any more thought to his offer?" "Not that I'm pushing Felix." "Or boys in general." "I know how you love to defy me." "Not this time, Mom." "You were right." "Everything does happen for a reason." "Sabrina turned out to be a whack job because I'm meant to spend New Year's with Felix." "Are you sure about that?" "I mean, it wouldn't be fair to Felix if you're not over Sabrina." "I told you, I am!" "And I think we can all agree that Felix is great." "You text him right now and make a plan." "Okay!" " Great."

" What's going on with him?" " He won't say." "He and Noah are having some issues." "Maybe you could give him some advice... you know, since everything's going so well with hashtag-Booper!" "Karma... are you jealous?" "It's kinda hard to be jealous of something that's so obviously not real." "Mmm!" "You are a latte genius." "(SCOFFS/LAUGHS)" "Voilà!" "Wow!" "I can't believe" "I'm actually helping you shop for a dress!" "This is blowing my mind a little bit." "I wanna look good on New Year's." "And boys like dresses." "I... heard what happened with Sabrina." "Are you okay?" "I'm fine." "And I'm over it." "And I really don't feel like talking about it, so can we just drop it?" "I know from experience that saying you're okay isn't the same as being okay, and..." "Mm-mm." "Pretending isn't gonna make it all go away." "You're one to talk about pretending, Mrs. Liam Booker." "What makes you think we're pretending?" "Because it's absurd!" "Lauren, you've done some pretty crazy things to gain followers, but... this one takes the deluded cake."

"I saw Karma today." "She wasn't even the tiniest bit jealous of us." "Ha!" "I knew you weren't above making an ex jealous." "Yeah, well, Karma said it's tough to be jealous about something that isn't real." "Why the hell doesn't anyone believe we're dating?" "We're living together, sharing space." "Is it so hard to believe that could have turned into something more?" "Maybe we need to show everybody just how real we are." "And how exactly will we do that?" "How great is this?" "So great!" "You know, normally, this is the time where I would have to say good night and go home." " Except this is your home." " (GIGGLES)" "You know..." "I almost want to thank Sabrina."
