Bass:
Tina! It's showtime! Tina Armstrong: Dad! Not now I'm in my underwear. Christie Allen: Which I hate. Why you can't just sleep in the nude like me I'll never know. Bass: Oh my god. Tina Armstrong: No Dad, she's just another fighter. We're just sleeping together. Bass: Yeah I can see that. Tina Armstrong: No. I mean we're not sleeping together. We're just... sleeping. Bass: Seems to me like my baby girl's found a special friend. We'll settle it tomorrow, sweetie. Nice to meet you miss. Christie Allen: Oh it's Christie. Bass: Tina's real name's Christina! Tina Armstrong: Dad! Tina Armstrong: Thanks a lot, bitch. Christie Allen: Save your strength sweetheart, big day tomorrow fighting daddy. See more » |
