Altered

Scene 14

(Open mall scene with Ashlynn and Rita: Rita has her arms filled up with shopping bags, Ashlynn has a backpack)

(Enter Xsandra, Aleen, and Athena)

Rita: I don't know real therapy, but shop therapy never hurt anyone, right?

Ashlynn: I guess

Aleen: We can't shop our way out of life, but money can buy pills...

Xsandra: We wouldn't look good in any of this stuff anyways.

Rita: Ooh, I hear that DIVINE has a new clothing line. You wanna go and check it out?

Ashlynn: Isn't that stuff super expensive?

Xsandra: We are broke if you couldn't remember, dumbass.

Rita: Well...yeah, but isn't your dad like super rich or something?

Ashlynn: I mean yeah... but I don't get any of it.

Rita: It doesn't cost anything to look.

Aleen: We aren't good enough to go in there.

Ashlynn: You never know. With a place like that they probably will make you pay for breathing on their skirts.

Rita: Then don't breathe

Aleen: I wish...

Rita: *walks into the store*

Ashlynn: *trails behind Rita*

(Enter Sales assistant)

Sales assistant: Hello, can I help you with anything today, ma'am?

Athena: *freezes; eyes wide open; shakes head rapidly*

Ashlynn: *shakes head* uh, no I'm just looking. Thank you.

Xsandra: We don't fit in here. Look at the way she is looking at us. We are a freak.

Sales assistant: Tell me if you need anything

Athena: *puts her head in hands*

Ashlynn: ...thanks

(Exits Sales Assistant)

(Exit Athena)

Xsandra: See!? A total freak!

Rita: *walks up to Ashlynn holding a small red purse* What do you think?

Xsandra: It isn't really your color, but then again what is? *laughs*

Ashlynn: I think that you better put that back before they take your kidneys to pay for it.

Rita: I mean...this bag is worth my kidneys.

Aleen: It's bad...

Ashlynn: You can't be serious. Do you want to buy it? How much is it?

Rita: It can't me that much. I mean it's only a tiny handbag, how much could it be? *looks down at the price tag; facial expression changes instantly; carefully places the bag back onto the display stand*

Ashlynn: It was a lot wasn't it?

Rita: Yeah...

Xsandra: *laughs* Doesn't this girl know Toronto yet?

Ashlynn: What? Like 500 bucks?

Rita: 725

Ashlynn: For a purse? Did they skin Zac Efron and make him into a bag? Why is that so damn expensive?

Rita: *laughs* That's really dark

Aleen: We are a messed up person...

Ashlynn: I know some creeps that would buy it
