Like our fancy dinner, we had to scarf it up.

Grace Literally bought, like everything on the menu and they're like, Can you eat all this f---ing food? I was like, Yeah.

Amy Yeah, yeah, watch me, watch it. Also also, we saw Top Dog Underdog on Broadway.

Grace We did. And let me tell you about. Yeah, yeah.

Amy Yeah, Ya-Ya can get it. He can get it. I don't know what the play was about because in my head the play was about his thighs. I don't know what I saw.

Grace But it was really good. Like I would recommend everybody see it. First of all, like Corey Hawkins, such a great actor. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A great actor as well. Didn't really focus on his acting because like I said.

Amy Once again, the thighs. Once again the thighs. And we also did other fancy things, like we had a little nightcap at Dumbo house one night. I saw how the other half lives, the other half being my friend Grace. Um, it was really, really fancy.
