  Lynn : Gina, I didn't mean to run them out.

• Gina Norris : Where'd you get that money?

  Darnelle : Gina, you know I don't do like that. But if a guy wants to pay my bills, I'ma let him pay my bills.

  Gina Norris : You know what, you need to shut up because you're sounding really stupid right now. You are lazy, you're wasting your life and you're wasting my time. Why don't you take your money to go buy a clue?
