Heather: [to Melinda] I hate being a Martha. You were so right not to join. I mean all I am is their little slave. Okay, it was supposed to be me and Meg and Siobhan decorating the Holiday Inn for prom. And now Meg and Siobhan can't do it and I'm totally screwed! Mel, you have to help me! They have some sales meeting in there until like 3:00, but then they'll let us start and I know we can do it!

[Melinda blankly stares at her]

Heather: You are so great! I owe you big time! What if I help you redecorate your room? I know, a nice seafoam green!

Melinda Sordino: [hesitates] No...

Heather: Okay. Or something rich like... like eggplant!

Melinda Sordino: No, I mean, I won't help you.

Heather: But you have to.

Melinda Sordino: No, I don't.

Heather: But why?

Melinda Sordino: Because I was nice to you in the beginning of school when I didn't even like you and you blew me... blew me off because you're a self-centered social climber! And you know what? I know what I wanna do to my room and it doesn't involve eggplant. I think you should go.
