” White as a Ghost ” (Nikea, Zerase, Bernadette)
Nikea: Well! What do you know?
Zerase: What is it?
Nikea: Uh, nothing. The thought of you bathing just… never occured to me.
Zerase: Of course I bathe! What do you think I am?
Bernadette: She’s got you there.
Nikea: Well…*ahem* Wow, Zerase, your skin is snow-white. I’m so jealous!
Bernadette: Oh, come on, Nikea, yours is white. Here and there.
Nikea: Nah, it just looks that way ‘cause the rest of me is tanned so bad. Now, you, you’re bronze all over. It’s beautiful. I wish I knew your secret.
Bernadette: No secret. Back in the Island Nations, everybody looks like this.
Nikea: Wow! And you’re so smooth!
Bernadette: Nikea! H-Hey!
Nikea: How about you, Zerase? Here, hold still…
Zerase: I’m getting out. If you will excuse me…
Nikea: What? Already?
Bernadette: Stay! Relax! You look so tense…
Zerase: I have wasted enough time here.
Nikea: Hey, wait… Ah, darn it. When am I ever gonna get to talk to her? You know, woman-to-woman? Bah.
Bernadette: Nikea… Did you notice?
Nikea: Huh? Notice what?
Bernadette: Her skin… It was so white…
Nikea: Yeah, does she EVER step out in the sun? I mean… what?
Nikea: How warm is this water? Why wasn’t she flushed — at ALL?
Nikea: Oh! Um… You… You’re not trying to say she’s… No, no way! That’s… No way!
Bernadette: And remember? She said, “What do you think I am?” “What,” not “Who”…
Nikea: Ooh, I’m getting chills…
I NEVER get the bath scenes D:
