Can I get ya anything, Mr. Trainer? Coffee? Tea? Me?

[to Jack]

Isn't she a riot. That'll be all, Cynthia.

Cynthia
[watching a chandelier that lowers from the ceiling]

Why does it do that?

For cleaning...

Cynthia

Are you kiddin' me?

No, I'm not.

Shoot me, just shoot me.

Cynthia

Will you cut that out, they didn't throw you out, did they?

Well, they don't exactly have bouncers at these things, they're a little more subtle than that, Cyn. Oh God, and last night!

Cynthia

Yeah, I should've checked the miligrams. Live and learn. Well, maybe, he'll feel sorry for you and make it up to your doing your deal or whatever it is.

I'm not looking for sympathy. You know, I had a shot at it... you know!

Cynthia

Look, all I'm saying is, if you're so smart, why don't you act smart and save your ass while you still can. Else they're gonna find out, you're not gonna have your job, or any job. You're outta your man and your home already!

I'm gonna come clean as soon as I get my end set up. I swear. I know what I'm doing.

Cynthia

Yeah, so do I... screwing up your life.

No, I'm trying to make it better! I'm not gonna spend the rest of my life working my ass off and getting nowhere just because I followed rules that I had nothing to do with setting up, okay?
