Rough Transcription:
01. A: Here we go. I’m washing the dishes. We’re roommates, by the way.
02. A: All right. I just picked up a plate that was put away that still had peanut butter on it.
03. B: Eew. That’s so gross.
04. C: That’s disgusting.
05. A: I think we really just need to have a roommate meeting and talk about, like, washing the dishes.
06. B: Come sit down.
07. A: So, I mean, that’s just kind of gross, and I really don’t want to have to, like, tell you guys how to wash your dishes…like we should all be using hot water and soap.
08. B: Definitely. Um, well I would use hot water, but I just like, got my nails done and it melts the glue…so I can’t.
09. C: When you don’t use hot water, the germs don’t go away, so…
10. B: All right, I mean, I will…
11. A: I mean, I don’t want to get the swine flu.
12. B: I could buy some gloves, but I like qualify for work-study, and I can’t afford them, but…
13. A: If we all chipped in we could buy a pair of gloves? (laugh)
14. C: Your dishes are really dirty, okay? Like […] the other day and the brownies were still in the pan. Like, what was that? You couldn’t even, like, take them out?
15. B: I guess, I don’t know. Maybe you guys could do some of my dishes.
16. C: We don’t have time for that! Like we have our own dishes among, like 12 other things to do. Like, what do you want? Like, you can’t wash a plate?
17. B: Yeah, I guess I could wash a plate. I don’t know. I do wash the dishes sometimes. I just don’t use them a lot.
18. A: I’ve seen you eat food and use plates.
19. B: I use paper plates. (laugh)
20. A: I guess that's a good excuse, but I mean still you need to wash your spoons.
21. C: If you’re gonna use paper plates that’s fine, but if you use a spoon, wash it.
22. B: Okay
23. C: And a plate, wash it.
24. B: I can try that.
25. A: Okay, I’m glad you can try that.
26. B: All right, great.
27. C: Should we have a group hug or something?
28. A: I’m really glad we just talked that out.
29. C: I feel really better about this right now.
30. B: Me too.
31. A: Me three. Good.
32. A: Scene.
