Gilda: *watches the Sweet and Sour be made as she makes a cute face... that eventually crosses the cuteness event horizon and turns ugly* Zucker: "Alright, here you go. Against better judgement, here's..." *notices Gilda's face* "AAAAAGH! Son of a f***! Stop making that face! You look like a Cronenberg creature!"
Zucker: "Anyways, here you go. The Sweet and Sour. Hell of a thing to be drinking at magic hour." Gilda: *screws her eyeball back into its socket and takes a sip. She loves the taste of it, as expressed in a... comedic way* "Oh yeah. Agrodolce. That's how ya do it. And what'd you say? Magic hour? Cool term, sir."
Gilda: "Well, I'd love to stay and chat, Mr. Zucker, but I know you've got work. And so do I. Mr. Spectrous is my teacher, he runs the Griswold's." Zucker: "Thanks for the bribe, I guess." Gilda: "Arrivederci!" *jumps on floor scrubber for a ride* "Ma-gic-ow-wah-sweet-and-sow-wah! Ma-gic-ow-wah-sweet-and-sow-wah!"

Gilda: "Well, it can't be anything good, whatever it is. That Roz and Maddie are always up to bad news!" Terence: "What do you know? You hardly ever see them." Gilda: "They like you. I know enough." *Terence punches her sending her skidding across the floor* "Bastardo!" *lands into a wall and gets up* "Wow, Terence! What a saint you are, assaulting a child in public!"
Gilda: "And of course you ran off already. Vigliacco!" *notices a kiosk for Zucker's as she wipes her nose* "EEEEEEEEEE!" *pounces* "ZUUUUUCAAAAAHHH-RUH!"
Zucker: "Why are you here, little miss? This kiosk doesn't open for another half-hour!" Gilda: "Oh, that's right. You work retail! It's like my grandma says, retail workers aren't paid enough to deal with bullshit! So let me throw in an extra Hamilton with my order. You know what I like!" Zucker: "Ughhh... the Sweet and Sour." Gilda: "Yep!" Zucker: "So let me get this straight." Gilda: "Sure!" Zucker: "You want a drink with sixty-four grams of sugar." Gilda: "Yeah!" Zucker: "At barely after ten in the morning." Gilda: "Uh-huh." Zucker: "And you're so impatient for it that you're telling me to open before my posted hours just to appease you?" Gilda: "Impatient? No, if I was impatient, I'd just be telling you to open like a grouchy boss. But you see, I'm a customer... who's bribing you."

Gilda: *puts on gloves, shines her shoes, adjusts her braids, and pinches her cheeks, before doing the iconic Sonic Adventure pose*
Gilda: "Terence?" Terence: "Uhhhhh... huh?" Gilda: "Terence, wake up, you lazy f***. You know very well you're supposed to drive me to the mall this morning." Terence: "Ah, crap, it *is* Monday, isn't it?" Gilda: "Mm-hmm." Terence: "Yep, yep, I'll be quick. I got something I need to do there anyways."
Terence: "How is the mall this busy? It's barely past eight!" Gilda: "They're probably mostly managers and cyclists. Or employees, such as myself! Speaking of which, what're *you* here for? Besides dropping me off?" Terence: "Roz and Maddie want CRTs for something they don't want me talking about with anyone but them."
