Bueno
You didn’t hear it from me
But some little birdie told me
Usnavi had sex with Yolanda
[NINA/CARLA]
¡No me diga!
[VANESSA]
¡Ay, no! He’d never go out with a skank like that!
Please tell me you’re joking
[DANIELA]
Okay! Just wanted to see what you’d say

Oh ho, Dani!

Nina, seriously, we knew you’d be the one to make it out
[VANESSA]
I'll bet you impressed them all out west
You were always the best, no doubt
[CARLA]
We want front row seats to your graduation
[DANIELA]
They’ll call your name
[DANIELA/CARLA/VANESSA]
And we’ll scream and shout!

You guys! I dropped out.
[DANIELA/CARLA/VANESSA, spoken]
No me diga…
[NINA, spoken]
I should go.
[DANIELA, spoken]
Well, that’s a shitty piece of news.
