so I just take it whenever

I know I'm gonna do somethin'.

- You know what that is?

- That?

- Yep.

- A shelf.

- Nope.

- I give up.

- It's a rollaway bed.

- What for?

- For whenever we have company.

- Ohh.

I slept on it a lot before my roommate,

Deidre, moved out.

I fill in my diary every night,

whether anything happened that day or not.

Got a lot

to write about today. You.

[Millie Thinking]

I have a new roommate.

Of all people, it's Pinky,

the new girl at work.

She's a strange person,

but it's better than waitin'around...

for some fat nurse

to answer the notice.

On the way home I took her

to Dodge City for a beer.

All the guys were ridin'dirt bikes out back,

so we didn't stay long.

Edgar pulled one ofhis tricks on Pinky.

She fell for it till the end.

She sure doesn't have much to her name,

but she does have a sewing machine...

and maybe will make me

a new dress or somethin'.

She loves the apartment. I guess

she's never lived in a decorated place before.

Anyway, we're all settled in.

Last one in bed

turns out the lights.

Good night, Millie.

I hope ya don't mind ridin' the bus

home tonight. I got a hot date.

- I don't mind.

- Normally, I won't go out with a guy...

unless he provides for the transportation,

but tonight I'm makin' an exception.

Jeffo's car is in the shop.

Besides, he's worth makin' an exception for.

He's real cute.

Oh, yeah, and don't wait up for me.

- I'll probably be home real late.

- Okay.

Bye.

- Have a good time.

- I will.

[Door Closes]

[Sewing Machine Whirring]

How come ya left these

lyin' in the middle of the living room floor?

- Oh, hi, Millie. Oh, my shoes.

- Yeah.

What's that

you're wearin'?

Oh, l-I spilled somethin' on that one

you gave me and I had to borrow yours.

- Well, I wish you'd ask me first next time.

- Okay.

Okay.

- What's this?

- Milk.

I know it's milk,

but what's it doin' in the bathroom?

What happened to your date?

He wanted to go to some striptease joint

and I wasn't about to.

Say, Tom and some of the guys are settin'up

a swimmin'party downstairs.

Why don't we get on our suits

and gojoin 'em?

- I don't have a suit.

- You can borrow one of mine.

- Thank you.

That's the dumbest thing

She just loves makin' me late

gettin' out of here on Friday.

- I'm sorry, Millie.

- Well, hurry up and get dressed.

If you're not outta there in five minutes,

I'm gonna have to leave without ya.

It won't take me that long.

Whoo!

I wonder what it's like

to be twins.

- Huh?

- Twins. Bet it'd be weird.

Do you think they know

which one they are?

Sure they do.

They'd have to, wouldn't they?

I don't know.

Maybe they switch back and forth.

You know,

one day... Peggy's Polly.

Another day, Polly's Peggy.

Who knows?

Maybe they're the same one

all the time.

- Can we just talk about somethin' else now?
