When you left me alone to battle the whites in the field, what happened to "Beyonce or bust"? Beyonce is a better mother than me! ( SOBBING ) This closet is so well organized.
Tiffany, come out the closet.
Molly, stop breathing so hard.
Kelli, stop glaring at me like you want me to die.

You mean side effect.
Now who's a scientist? Bitch, shut up! Yo, who took my jacket? Who the fuck took my jacket? ISSA: Y'all, the drugs and the heat are fuckin' us up.
