Jolly old England isn't all that jolly

[bicche]

Welcome back to England, Mandy. Your mother is dead and the friend who said you can stay with her until the funeral so you won't have to go back to live with your hag of sister has decided to run off to Samoa with her boyfriend. And it's raining.

I need a drink. Who's here, anyway?

That's terrible Mandy! I'm sorry that you've had such a bad return.

[bicche]

It really has been! And to top it all off, my hair's going limp from all the rain.

Are you coming to the funeral? Say you'll come. I can't handle Charlotte on my own.

[missmacdougal]

You can blame Warrington for that.

When is it? I'll try to come, I guess.

[bicche]

You guess? Well, if it's going to be such a hardship for you, don't bother.

[missmacdougal]

Oh Mandy, I didn't mean it like that! It's just, I'm not exactly yur closest friend but If you really want me to come then I'll come, promise.

[bicche]

Well, since Melinda's gone and I don't really have anyone else

Yes, of course I want you to come! Someone needs to support me through this horrible, tragic time.

[missmacdougal]

Fine. Tell me when it is and I'll be there. If you need anything else just ask, I'm pretty much right next door to you so it's no hassle.

[bicche]

You're a darling.

It's tomorrow, at 3. It'll be easier to get through if you're drunk. I know I'll be.

[missmacdougal]

I'll just have to tell Belle that I can't look after Mal for a couple of hours. I'll stay sober, however. Someone needs to look after you if you're drunk.

[bicche]

You're fantastic. Don't let me go home with any men. I'm swearing off them.

[missmacdougal]

What type of man is going to hit on a grieving girl anyway?

[bicche]

Men try to hit on girls in any situation.

[missmacdougal]

Fair enough!

I've talked to Belle and i'm free to come to the funeral so I'll definitely be there.

[bicche]

Good. I'll see you there.
