## Dialogue

    Kate: Get up. Wait for Mrs. Kingsley and the prefects.
    Poppy: Screw them!
    [Kiki and Kate raise Poppy from her seat and make her stand up]
    Poppy: That is physical abuse! I'm calling my lawyer!
    Kate: With what?
    Harriet: Harriet, head-girl
    Poppy: Mmh.
    Harriet [takes Poppy's hand] You shake the head-girl's hand out of respect
    Poppy: When the head-girl has earned my respect, then I will shake her hand!
    Harriet: I'm sorry?
    Poppy: Apology accepted.
    Mrs. Kingsley: [Poppy knocks on the door] Who's there?
    Poppy: [Poppy bursts into the room, annoyed] Jesus.
    Mrs. Kingsley: Oh, we were always led to believe you had a beard and sandals. Now we'll have to change the stained glass window in our chapel.
    Poppy: [Freddie refuses a stormy kiss] Oh, cards on the table! Are you gay?
    Freddie: No, just English.
    Harriet: Me thinks.
    Charlotte and Jane: [Both] We think so, too.
    Kate: [after looking at all of the bottles of water in Poppy's trunk] Erm... Why?
    Poppy: What? I might get thirsty
    Kate: You know in England we have this amazing thing, it's called a tap.
    Kate: Sorry, Mrs. Kingsley we just got a little bit carried away.
    Mrs. Kingsley: Well as I understand, Drippy was totally carried away by Mr. Nellis and Miss Rees-Withers after laying in a pool of her own vomit.
    Drippy: Actually it was Kate's vomit Mrs Kingsley, I was just lying in it.
    Poppy: It's nice to see you when I'm not half-naked or delirious!
    Freddie: I wouldn't speak to soon... is it wrong of me to say that I´m just a little bit disappointed?
    Harriet: [just had her help pour coffee water onto Poppy] Oh, sorry, just can't trust the help these days! Do you have a pass to be out now?
    Poppy: Yea, yea I do, it's right here
    [flips off Harriet offscreen]
    Mr. Christopher: Oh my god, its Tom Cruise!
    Drippy: Can you say that any louder, I need your help!
