(Alice and Bette knew Tina was nervous and getting more and more scared by the day. Bette was the only thing keeping Tina from losing it)

Alice: How you holding up?

Tina: My baby is keeping me grounded

(Tina places a little kiss on Bette’s lips)

Bette: It’s my pleasure baby

Tina: And mine (Tina licks Bette’s earlobe)

Alice: (Gags) Guys keep that for the bedroom please

Tina: You’re just jealous Al

Alice: The hell I am I have Dana remember

Bette: Where is she anyway, I haven’t seen her in a while

Alice: She is currently in London on business

Bette: Ah she is trying her best to get her company to succeed

Alice: I never see her anymore, we discussed starting a family over a video call

Tina: What’s Dana’s company called?

Alice: Fairbanks Industries, they produce everything from sports equipment to high tech weaponary; she’s working on a deal with the British government that will make her millions

Tina: You’ll be living in the lap of luxury soon then?

Alice: Hopefully and if she gets the deal I’m taking early retirement

Bette: Really?

Alice: Hell yes

Bette: Oh

Alice: Bette you have your girlfriend to keep you company and I’m only gonna be a phone call away

Tina: You’re her best friend Al

Bette: Exactly

Alice: Phone call

Bette: I get it

Alice: Good, you and Tina are the future of this newspaper as long as TK keeps dressing up and playing hero

Tina: Gee thanks Al

Bette: I know but it won’t be the same without you

Alice: You’ll get used to it and anyway you and TK will probably use my desk for sex if you’re ever in here on your own late at night

Bette and Tina: Alice!

Alice: What I’m only stating the obvious

Tina: You’re unbelievable you know that

Alice: Can’t you two take a joke

Bette: Sometimes your humour is digusting

Tina: We won’t be having sex at work

Bette: Ever

Alice: Party crashers

Bette: No we’re just sensible and want to keep our jobs
