Cheri: Okay, so I need to find a bonfire outfit that says... "respect me, but also desire me."
Mona: [Giggles] Good luck with that.
Cheri: You laugh but I think this is my night. I'm going, Tyler's going... it's fate.
Mona: It's a cruel fate.
Cheri: Not funny, Mona. La-la-la I'm not listening to you.
Mona: Whatever you say.
Cheri: Come on... where's the support? You should be excited for me!
Mona: I am, I guess... I just don't really understand what you see in Tyler, he's kind of a meathead.

Mona: Oh, hey Sonia. Have you seen my mom?
Sonia: Oh yes, I have seen much of your mom, she is currently in the bathroom... freshening up.
Mona: Okay... I guess I'll wait for her out here then.
Sonia: [Thinking] There's something different about you.
Uh, oh. Sonia is our resident psychic. Her predictions can be uncanny...
Mona: Really? What's different?
Sonia: Did anything happen to you recently? Not anything to your mom or anyone else but YOU.
