[Holding up a T-shirt with the word Chanel written across]
Jennifer : How much you think that cost?
Dawn : T-shirt? Three pound fifty, tops.
Jennifer : Forty quid.
Dawn : No!
Jennifer : Forty quid she paid for that, I couldn't believe it. You know how's I know? Dry clean, apparently. Dry clean a t-shirt, I couldn't believe it. I should be dry cleaning her knickers next time.

[they are spoofing "Gone With the Wind"; Jennifer is affecting a Southern accent]
Jennifer : Oh whatever will I wear to the party tonight, Mammie?

Jennifer : [grabs the dress] Oh fiddle-dee-dee!
Dawn : Should I have that dry-cleaned, then?
Jennifer : [reverts to her English accent] What?

Jennifer : Because you're my SLAVE!

Jennifer : Well are you at least going to try the accent?
Dawn : Oh, I meant to ask you about that. Do you think I should?
Jennifer : Well, try it. "How are you doing today?"
Dawn : Oh, very well, thank you. I had lunch and...
Jennifer : No, SAY it!
Dawn : Oh.
[attempts a Southern accent and sounds more like a mentally ill person]

Dawn : Well are YOU going to try the accent?
Jennifer : [breaks character angrily] I *AM*!
