oh! how i feel pretty in pink

andie: did you say that you went to your prom?
iona: yeah. sure.
andie: was it terrible?

iona: it was the worst. but its supposed to be, you know. but you have to go, right?

andie: well, you dont have to. its not a requirement.

iona: i had this girlfriend who didnt go to hers and every once in awhile she gets this really terrible feeling, you know, like something is missing. you know, she checks her purse; you know, she checks her keys; she counts her kids. she goes crazy. and then she realizes...nothing is missing. she decided it was side effects from skipping the prom.

andie: i dont know. i mean part of me says just go and get it over with and the other part of me says its just some stupid tradition and whats the point?

iona: you know, you could say life itself is a stupid tradition. dont analyze, just go.
