Kit: Say it.

Piper: You're not the boss of me.

Kit: Fine. I'll say it. Piper, that's a hell of a fucking accomplishment. You should be proud.

Piper: Thank you.

Kit: If you asked, Mal could pull strings to get you real gigs.

Piper: He could, but he wouldn't do anything that puts me in the "Hollywood party scene." It's not a place for nice girls.

Kit: It's not.

Piper: Why do I know all these uptight rock stars? You're supposed to want to corrupt me.

Kit: You're my friend's baby sister.

Piper: Exactly. It's hot because it's wrong.

Kit: Friends don't want to corrupt friends.

Piper: I guess I buy that. It's your turn now.

Kit: My turn?

Piper: To share your feelings about something.

Kit: You sound like a terrible group therapist.

Piper: I'll strike therapist off my "possible careers."

Kit: I'm sure you could improve with training.

Piper: I don't see it.

Kit: Me either.

Piper: It's still your turn.

Kit: Ask me something and I'll answer.

Piper: Are you excited about the tour?

Kit: Yes.

Piper: Those aren't feelings.

Kit: Damn, thought I'd slip that one by you.

Piper: You should try harder next time.

Kit: I get nervous before shows, but once I'm on stage, I fall into this flow. It's where I belong. I'm excited about that. But the twelve hours a day on a bus with the same few people and the shitty hotel rooms are a drag.

Piper: You have stage fright?

Kit: Yeah.

Piper: I never noticed.
