-- 'd be perfectly content with using this suit and borrowing a tie.

[It seems she's addressing someone just out of view.]

[heresthebasics]

Well, you ain't borrowing mine. Come on, Ryuuko! You're a woman! Put those womanly curves into action and wear something nice!

[savetheliving]

Suits and ties are nice.

[heresthebasics]

Yeah, for a handsome man like myself. You should be wearing something more feminine.

[savetheliving]

And what are you suggesting?

[heresthebasics]

A dress of course!

[savetheliving]

I would have to walk several floors to the dining hall. In a dress.

[heresthebasics]

Oh, you won't be the only one.

[savetheliving]

It's still something I'd like to avoid.

[heresthebasics]

Avoid it all you want, you ain't leaving for that ball without high heels and a petticoat.

[savetheliving]

You're insisting.

[heresthebasics]

Yeah! Because if I didn't you'd show up in that get up! Have some class. I bet you'd look great in a dress!

[savetheliving]

I won't be wearing a dress.

[heresthebasics]

Then I guess you won't be attending! I don't care if I miss the shindig, I'm not going to let you out there unless you're dressed like a woman.

THAT SLANG IS SO 13 PLOTS AGO

[savetheliving]

And why do you insist on this?

[heresthebasics]

You're going to embarrass the rest of us in front of the Captain. I can't stand for that!

[Isshin grabs Ryuuko by the arm and heads for the door.]

That's it. We're going to get you a dress before the night's over.

This conversation seems familiar.
