The script did NOT tell you to make me a short, fat, ugly lump!!! Meanwhile you made yourself look gorgeous!!!! The cartoon doesn't even make sense because you were supposed to look bad!!
I misunderstood the script?? You're scalloping the wrong shell this time, sweetheart. I quote from O.D.'s script:
So the two ladies are wearing each other's outfits, standing next to each other in a sort of awkward way, perhaps vaguely reminiscent of Waiting for Godot but with some echo of Kafka present. Perhaps the background colors could bespeak a gathering danger, as though a storm is just off the coast but not yet pelting the mainland with nasty cold rain. Sort of a Manet vs. Matisse thing, I suppose, but ironic, please, ironic!! Furthermore there should be a sense of eternal time passing, like shadows cutting the wall in a sort of cosmic curtain coming down. But subtle!! The key to making the whole thing is chromatographic difference. Pop the highs and the lows... ("Trade Imbalance" script version 2.3, by O.D., page 7, paragraph 2)
OH. I'm so sorry, Maya. It's just that the script sort of confused me. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Maybe O.D. needs to make the scripts a little simpler.
I don't know, O.D... maybe she has a point. You can be a little verbose. The scripts really should be industry standard, understandable by an eight-year-old.

Well, I am gorgeous. But I did do what O.D.'s script said. It said to play up the differences between us.
The differences in skin color and clothing choices!!! We were just supposed to clash horribly and look garish!
I think you misunderstood the script.

You see???!!!
Yes, I do see: "Pop the highs and the lows". I'm taller than you. Pretty simple.
The high and low color tones!!!!!

Hey, don't bring me into this! There was never a problem with my scripts before... B.L. always understood them. I can only write the way I write.

Who are you calling verbose??
Are you calling me an eight-year-old?!
Oh, for chrissake. Are you two being obtuse on purpose?
Oh, so now I'm obtuse and verbose? Or is it vertuse and obbose?
I don't understand what O.D. is saying. But I think I understand what you're saying, Maya. And I can't say I like it.
Biological fight! Biological fight!! (Starts the videotape).
Coma, shut the hell up. Ro, you flat-out made me look bad.
Okay, everyone, take it easy. We'll talk about it tomorrow and get it all sorted out. I'm sure nobody meant anything.
