Girl #1: I'm getting my hair cut when I go home next week. I don't trust New York hairdressers. Last time, they charged me too much and gave me a crappy cut where one side was longer than the other.

Girl #1: What, like I'm paying a licensing fee to rebroadcast her creativity on my head?...I guess so.
