A FASHION STATEMENT.

GRIM
Sneezes.
GRIMMER
God bless you.
GRIM
So, now you’re working for him?
GRIMMER
Who?
GRIM
God. You just told him to bless me.
GRIMMER
It’s an expression.
GRIM
It’s an admission of narcissistic arrogance.
GRIMMER
I am the furthest thing from arrogant. I’m the rug that everyone walks on.
GRIM
At least you bought the rug. By the way, I need pens pronto.
GRIMMER
You see! I’m the manager, and still you step on me.
GRIM
For you, heal marks are a fashion statement.
GRIMMER
At least my shopping mantra isn’t: “off the rack and on the floor.”
GRIM
Are you saying that I’m wrinkled?
GRIMMER
That would be a sign of character. You’re rumpled and pinched.
GRIM
At least I don’t look like a department store dummy.
GRIMMER
I had Botox.

GRIM
It’s obvious that you’re toxic.
GRIMMER
It’s not toxic. It’s toxin.
GRIM
I say, banana. You say, “ba-nah-na.”
GRIMMER
All you think about is food. It’s written all over your face — in strawberry jam.
GRIM 
(Wiping her mouth with a sleeve.)
Lunch.
GRIMMER
Leftovers.
GRIM 
(Picking a crumb from her sweater.)
Just dessert.
