Dee: Which one should I try first!?
Emily: Hmm.
Dee: Here, you have some!
Emily: Are you sure?
Dee: Yeah! I'll have what you have.

Dee: It's not just opening and closing your teeth, is it?
Emily: Uh, no, you have to grind them a bit, from side to side, and also push the gum around with your tongue... I'm sorry if I'm bad at explaining, but...
Dee: Ok. Let's do this.

The graffiti behind them includes a few tags that say JAMBS+, a t-rex with the word LADIES! above its head, some flames, and above it all the MORS CERTA HORA INCERTA is still there.)
