02x03 - Jailhouse Affair and Stitchy Situation

[bunniefuu]

You met on an online dating app?

Yeah, the swindling
hadn't started yet.

She got your credit card.

I paid emotionally.

No, no, no, no, no.

You are so lucky that
you got off so cheap.

[narrator]
This is Judy Justice.

[theme music playing]

[narrator] Yeni Pajaro is suing
his ex-girlfriend, Gigi Strachman,

for a plane ticket, credit card charges,
and a stolen cat.

[bailiff]
Court come to order. All rise.

Have a seat, everyone.

Hello, Judge. Case number 2016,
Pajaro versus Strachman.

[Judy] Mr. Pajaro, it is your claim
that the defendant,

who lived with you
for a brief period of time,

owes you money
for a plane ticket,

and for her unauthorized use
of your credit card.

That's correct.

I don't know what the defense is to this,

except that I think her defense

is that you were just stupid
and she took advantage of you.

-No... [giggles]
-[Judy] I'm trying to figure it out.

-[Yeni] Me too.
-I'm actually trying to figure it out.

Me too.

But you met the defendant,
according to you,

on an online dating app

and started a conversation
with her on what date?

So, we met in March 2020
on a dating app for LGBTQ people.

We started dating in March 2020.

Four months later,
she moved in with me,

which I know is not smart, but...

-July.
-Yes, in July 2020.

And where had she been living?

[Yeni]
She had been living in Florida.

-And where do you live?
-I live in Seattle, Washington.

Did you send her money
for a plane ticket?

How did she get to you?

She had money
herself at that time

to cover the cost of moving.

So, she moved, and it was her own funds
that she used to move.

Yeah, the swindling
hadn't started yet.

You must have had some substantial...
what is this?

What is this look?
I don't know what this look is.

Oh, it's just the verbiage, the...

OK, well, let me go back
and let me start with you, OK?

Because there's only one
theatrical person here

-in this room and that's me...
-[courtroom laughs]

-Do you understand?
-I do.

I get paid the big bucks
to be theatrical.

OK, so Miss Strachman,
you lived in Miami, he lived in...

-Seattle, Washington.
-[Judy] Seattle, Washington.

You decided to move in with him.

What kind of work were
you doing in Seattle?

I was a video editor,
but when COVID happened,

everyone kind of lost their jobs.

And what arrangements
did you make with him

when you were going
to move in with him?

He told me that if I gave
up my life in Florida,

I had a very lovely apartment,
lots of friends...

You had a lovely apartment,
you had nice friends, but no job.

[Gigi] I gave up everything
to go and move to Seattle.

OK, so he said, "Move to Seattle,
and I'll take care of you"?

Yes.

-[Judy] That's what you say in here?
-Yes.

-And that was in July of 2020?
-Yes.

Is that about what
you said to her?

No, the reason she
moved in, again,

it was four months after we
started dating, which normally...

Had you seen her during
those four months?

-We had Zoom...
-[Judy] That's either yes or no.

No, no, I mean virtually.

No, so you had no physical

-[Yeni] No.
-contact with her.

-[Yeni] No.
-OK.

But because we were in lockdown

and we were both pretty isolated,
it made sense.

Her lease was ending

and things moved
really fast between us,

so, we decided
to try out living together.

-Try it.
-[Yeni] Yeah.

OK, was there any discussion

about what she was going to do
once she got to Seattle?

Yeah, so as she stated,
she was a freelance video editor,

and she said she was
going to potentially

have more work in Seattle

and continue to try
and find gigs for that,

or find other employment,
drive for Uber Eats.

But she came to you
and she wasn't working.

She wasn't working, no.

OK, and the relationship
with her ended in what month?

It ended in February 2021.

So, it was a relatively
short live-in period,

maybe six, seven months.

Right, because of her.

Did she ever work
when she was with you?

-[Yeni] Not that I...
-Just a second, I'm gonna ask her.

Did you ever have full-time
gainful employment

during the time that you
lived with the plaintiff?

I did not,
I was not supposed to.

I didn't ask you...
I don't ask to be editorialized,

I asked you,
did you ever work full-time?

-No.
-Did you ever work part-time?

-No.
-OK, then there came a time,

according to what I read
in both of your papers,

that he purchased
a plane ticket for you

to go back to Miami.

That would be a yes?

That is correct, Your Honor.

-[Judy] And what month was that?
-That was in February of 2021.

And tell me, in your own words,
what you told him

as to why you wanted
to go to Miami,

because he wasn't
going with you.

He was not going with me.

Tell me what you told him
as to why you needed to go to Miami.

I told him that I needed
to visit my sister.

[Judy]
And does your sister live in Miami?

-Yes.
-Had you been there to visit her before?

-I had, yeah.
-[Judy] While you were living with him?

[Gigi]
No, no, we didn't travel.

No, no, so this was the first time you
wanted to go and visit your sister.

Yes.

[Judy] OK, was there
any specific reason

that you gave him as to why you wanted
to go visit your sister?

She was sick and I
wanted to be there.

But did you tell him
what she was sick with?

-Yeah, it was COVID.
-Does she live alone?

At the time, yes.

You know, it's not gonna be easy,
it's gonna get harder.

Now, the plaintiff seems
like a relatively intelligent

human being...
hands off hips.

If somebody I lived with say,
"I wanna go and see,"

unless it was a young child
maybe in a school or something

that lived alone
in an attic dormer,

"I wanna go see my sister
who's sick with COVID,"

and you don't have COVID
and this is 2021,

I would say,
"Well, why would you do that

and put yourself at risk,

and then come back
and put me at risk?"

Didn't you have
that conversation?

We didn't, Your Honor, no,
it just didn't come up.

"I wanna go take care of my
sister 'cause she has COVID"?

What about isolation?

-Didn't you ever hear about that?
-I did hear about that.

I spent a lot of
time in isolation.

Well, what do you
think that that means?

Isolation means not traveling.

No, isolation means
you're not supposed

to be around other people if
you test positive for COVID.

If you're sick, stay at home.

You don't travel cross-country
to be with somebody who's sick.

But it doesn't make any difference,
actually,

because you should have
picked up on that or whatever,

because you didn't
really want this ticket,

according to what I read,
Miss Strachman,

to go and visit
your sick sister.

You needed this ticket,

because you had started to
become involved with a boyfriend

who was in jail in Florida.

Unfortunately, yes.

OK, so that's a yes,
which you didn't tell him.

So, you took the money
from him for,

let's just start with the ticket,
under false pretenses.

-I did, but I...
-Just a second, that's all.

"I did," not a but...
[gags]

"I did take the money from him
under false pretenses."

When you went to Florida,

you said you needed
it for one thing

and in fact, you didn't.

That's under false pretenses.
How much was the ticket?

The ticket was for
$427 and 40 cents.

OK, and when you went to
Florida, Miss Strachman,

and you stayed in a hotel...
motel?

-What did you stay in?
-I stayed in a hotel.

And who's charge account
did you use for the hotel?

Yeni had given me a credit card

-and said that I could use it.
-[Judy] That's not what I asked you.

That's a name.

Whose credit card did you use
when you stayed at the hotel?

The plaintiff, Yeni's.

Mm-hmm, and that was
by prearrangement with him

that you were going
to stay in a hotel

rather than with your sister?

No, but I had the credit card
for legitimate uses.

No, that's not what I mean.
Let's go back.

You had the credit card.

I'm assuming for the purpose
of this question

that what you say and I
don't know if it's true,

but assuming for this question

that what you say in
your answer is accurate,

that he gave you
a credit card to use

for your necessaries
and expenses for emergency.

-Yes.
-[Judy] Yes.

You would agree that going to visit
secretly another boyfriend

in Miami was not a necessity.

You would agree that Yeni cheating
on me was not a necessity.

No, no, no, no, no, but did
you use his credit card?

I did, and I believe that human love

-and kindness is a necessity.
-[Judy] OK, just a second.

-No, that didn't happen.
-Do I look like I need help from you?

If you had given him,
Miss Strachman, a credit card,

I want you to try to take everything
else from out of your mind.

If you had given him
your credit card and said,

"I'm giving this to you
because I said to you

I would take care of you

when we lived together
if you didn't have a job,"

let's say I believe that,
I'm not so sure,

but let's say I believe that,

you would agree that going
to see another boyfriend

across the country
was not a necessity

for him, or for me,

-or Whitney or for Sarah.
-For you, no,

but for me, I'm a woman with needs.

I need dopamine, I need love,
I need connection.

And I wasn't getting
that from Yeni.

So, it was a necessity that I
went to go visit another man.

Yeni had other girls
as well on the side.

[stammers] Just a second, Ms. Strachman,
you didn't pay for the other girls.

You didn't pay for his other girls.

I paid emotionally.

Oh, you said... what an idiot.

What led you to believe you had
the legal right to take that cat?

Because that cat
had become severely bonded to me.

Yeni was neglecting both of us,

both of the women in his life
he'd chose to neglect.

Tell me how the cat
died in your custody.

That's not a smile story.

You always make a big deal,
according to you,

about your birthday,
it's a very important day of the year.

Correct.

Yeah, that's the way
Sarah feels, actually.

[all chuckle]

Me, I sort of like to
forget birthdays now.

I like it to run right by that day
as under-covered as possible.

Mm-hmm.
[laughs]

[theme music playing]

[narrator] Yeni Pajaro claims
his ex-girlfriend, Gigi Strachman,

owes for the cost
of a plane ticket,

credit card charges
and stealing his cat.

Gigi says they were all
necessary expenses for her.

Now, you should feel so lucky
that you got off so cheap.

I think you should
assume everything

that comes out
of her mouth is a lie.

No, no, no, yeah, no.
Yeah, well...

-Because I had here...
-I get who I'm dealing with, sir.

[Yeni] Yes.

$427 for the flight ticket,
how much was the credit card?

The credit card.
Also, there was an incident

with my cat as well, which...

-[Judy] Just a second.
-Which I'll address later.

Well, gonna get to that in a minute,
that's your least strong suit,

but it sort of tells me,
again, who I'm dealing with.

How much did she use
on the credit card in Miami?

-OK.
-[Judy] Only in Miami.

Right, in Miami,

she spent $1,000 on...

Now, just a sec. Is that a sheet
from your credit card company?

-Yes.
-I'd like to see it... easier.

Would you like me to add
the 427 for the flight ticket?

Yeah, but separate
the two for me, though.

Mm-hmm.

OK.

So just show me where the bills are.

So, those are two separate
credit card statements

because she used it
in two separate months.

One of those is when she initially
started using it, which was...

I don't care when
she initial started.

-[Yeni] OK. OK.
-Now let's understand.

Yeah.

-[Judy] She got your credit card.
-Yes.

I only wanna see
the charges from Miami.

OK, it's the one
that says "bail bonds."

The bigger charge,
which was just...

-Just circle the lines.
-[Yeni] OK.

-How much?
-That was for $1,000.

-But overall, it was...
-[Judy] No, no, no, $1,000.

We're gonna do it this way,
$1,000 bail bonds.

-Yes.
-[Judy] OK, next.

And then she spent
$262 and 50 cents

at a hotel for both of them.

$250 for a hotel.

And then she spent $105

on a fancy dinner
for her and her lover.

-And her what?
-And her lover.

OK, 150.



That's the kind of person
you're dealing with.


question before you, madam.

Ten, four, 1400 bucks there,
is that close?

Including the 1,000?

Including the 1,000,
but then not including the 435.

-Yeah.
-So, it would be 1827.

-Correct.
-Thank you.

OK, now let's get to the final issue.

So that takes care of your plane ticket
and the credit card

while she was in Miami.

Now let's talk about the cat.

Ms. Strachman, you moved in
with the plaintiff July of '20?

Yes.

And when you moved in
with the plaintiff,

did he have a cat?

-Yes, he did.
-OK, and what was that cat's name?

That cat's name was Momo.

And you lived with him a total
of approximately six months?

Yes, Your Honor.
And during that time, the cat...

No, no, I didn't ask you any question.
There's no question before you.

-Sorry... [mumbles]
-[Judy] There's no question before you.

I have dates, you moved in,

you lived with him
for six months,

when you moved in,
the cat was there.

And if you recall,
in what month and year

had you gotten the cat?

I got Momo right before she

moved in with me as an
emotional support animal,

which is legally protected.

[Judy]
When you say right before

she moved in with you,
give me the month.

And where did you
get the cat from?

June 2020,
I adopted her from a shelter.

[Judy] OK, so you didn't
have the cat long?

[Yeni] No.

-When she moved in?
-[Yeni] No.

And then the two of you had the cat?

-Yes, but that was...
-[Judy] OK, great,

and then when she, just a second,

then when she left,
she left in February of 2021.

Mm-hmm.

OK, we are now in August of 2022,

and you recently filed this case
with regard to your cat.

-Right, I didn't know where she was...
-[Judy] Just a second...

-I don't care.
-[Yeni] OK.

You recently filed this case
with regard to the cat.

Did you make a police report
when she left with the cat?

-Um, I don't...
-The answer is either yes or no.

I don't like involving
the police, so no,

I didn't wanna ruin her life.

Oh, well, I wanna
tell you something.

I have a small
four-pound dog at home.

I love that creature
more than anything in the world.

Except my grandchildren,
my husband and my children.

Hope there are enough life rafts
for everybody, including the dog.

I did try to hire a private investigator
in Florida,

but I didn't know where she was.

OK. You didn't report it to the police.

And I do have a problem with that.

Now, Ms. Strachman,

you knew when you moved in,
he had this cat that he had adopted.

Yes, Your Honor.

I want you to tell me
what led you to believe

you had the legal right to take that cat.

Because that cat had become
severely bonded to me.

Yeni was neglecting both of us,

both of the women in his life
he chose to neglect...

Because I was working and...

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Just a sec. Don't.

-Sorry I paid for everything.
-[Gigi] And so the cat...

So, wait,
he was neglecting the cat and you,

so you decided maybe half a neglect,
half a neglect,

you could be one whole person.

Exactly. Me and her
just getting outta here

and gonna go start
a new life together.

I spent day and night with that cat,

that cat was extremely
bonded to me.

She would be
devastated without me.

Tell me how the cat
died in your custody.

Tell me how the cat
died in your custody.

That's not a smile story.

It's not.
No, it's, it's absolutely devastating.

I am completely torn up about it.

Unfortunately, my boyfriend's dog
was not accustomed to cats

and mistook her for a toy
and she did not survive that.

What kind of a dog
does your boyfriend have?

We don't know the breed.

I've never done the genetic testing thing.

Oh, you have a picture of the dog?

I do not.
I didn't bring any evidence.

-I was hoping you'd just use...
-Yeah. Good.

Just brought your smile. OK.

She's not with her boyfriend anymore.
He's in jail.

I didn't ask you a question.
There's no question before you.

-Love transcends bars, Yeni.
-[Judy] OK.



And because you're a fool,
seven, two, eight, 2827.

Judgment for the plaintiff.
Thank you very much.

-We're done here.
-[Yeni] Thank you.

-[bailiff] This court is adjourned.
-First of all, I'm glad.

And I think justice was served.

Not for Momo, but for the other scams
that Jacklyn pulled.

I need dopamine. I need oxytocin.

I need love. I need care.

Well, credit card fraud.

And Yeni said that
they were gonna be

the person who was
gonna give that to me.

Deception, played with my heart.

And then didn't.
So, I had to find it elsewhere.

It was incredibly... this...
this was Momo.

I did not have the cat k*lled.

I was very attached to Momo.

That was my cat as well.

It was incredibly hard to deal with.

I was also alone when I had
to process that news. So...

I did not set a hitman out on the cat.

That's a lot to say.

She saw me as a sugar daddy

and she saw herself
s a wannabe Anna Nicole Smith.

Unfortunately, neither of us
are those things.

[laughing] Can I plead the fifth
on finding another sugar daddy?

Yet another lesson we learn about
co-habitants living together

and the rules of what not to do.

-No cars, no pets, no money exchanges.
-No joint...

No joint pets, no joint...

Exactly.
But today we learned a new one.

Today, don't give access
to your credit card

to anyone that you don't
want racking up charges

for any purpose, even to visit
a secondary lover in another state.

You know, the divorce rate in this country

is still hovering
somewhere around 50%.

The living-togethers
who don't quite make it to

the marriage place
is a much greater number.

Yeah.

Living-togethers don't stay together


Why in the world
would you buy a pet together?

Yeah. It's a risk.

Car together, a timeshare together.

True.

-Or give somebody a credit card.
-Yeah.

At the time that you do it,
you're happy with them.

But since at least


you're gonna go
your own separate ways,

at that time,
you're mad at each other.

And the lines get blurry.

And the lines get blurry,
absolutely right.

Case number 2024,
Morgan versus Davis.

All parties please step forward.

[narrator] Cori Morgan
is suing dress designer

Jacklyn Davis for party costs
and a dress deposit.

Ms. Morgan. This is what this case
is about in a nutshell.

You were celebrating a birthday.
When was your birthday?

March 24th.

And you always make a big deal,
according to you, about your birthday.

It's a very important
day of the year

for you and for
everybody who knows you.

[Cori] Correct.

Yeah. That's the way
Sarah feels, actually.

[courtroom laughs]

Me, I sort of like
to forget birthdays now.

I like it to run
right by that day

as under-covered as possible.

-[courtroom laughs]
-Mm-hmm.

[Judy] Anyway, you celebrate
your birthday with a big party.

-[Cori] Right.
-And according to you,

you get a spectacular dress
for this party,

invite everybody that you know
and care about.

How many people were you
having for your birthday party?

It was gonna be about 12 people.

Where was it going to be held?

It was gonna be at the
James Harden restaurant.

Who was gonna be there?

My best friend from Chicago,
my mom, my dad,

just an intimate setting
of family and friends.

Mom, dad, your best friend from Chicago.
Who else?

Just family...
cousins, aunt.

And the... you couldn't get
the restaurant for that day,

so, you made it in April
on a different day than your birthday?

Yes. I originally booked it
in January 18th,

the restaurant, it's a big deal.
So, yeah.

Whatever. Whatever.
It was postponed until what date?

-Yes, ma'am. April 1st.
-[Judy] OK.

What about your best friend from Chicago?

You told her not to come in
because you didn't have a dress?

Well, I told him that
I would be canceling

the dinner because
when she didn't deliver the dress,

everything was already
in black and silver.

Black and silver.
You put on black pants, black top

and you put on silver
around your neck.

Don't be ridiculous, Ms. Morgan,
you have to grow up a little.

[theme music playing]

[narrator] Cori Morgan
says dress designer

Jacklyn Davis is responsible
for party costs

and a dress deposit.

Jacklyn is countersuing,

claiming Cori owes
for travel costs.

And you ordered your dress
from the defendant.

You found her through
a mutual friend because

she makes wonderful clothes.

The defendant also is a tax preparer,
I understand.

-Is that right?
-Yes, ma'am.

So, she's busy.
So, she makes clothes,

she's a tax preparer in season.

You made arrangements with her
to make your dress

and she was going to make your dress
at the cost of $300.

According to you,
you didn't get your dress in time,

was never fitted at all after your
initial measurements were taken.

-Is that correct?
-Yes.

And since you didn't have
the dress for your dinner,

you had a terrible birthday.

You canceled your birthday and
you want her to pay for the dinner?

-Yes.
-[laughs]

Not happening. That's not happening.

-Ms. Morgan, how old are you?
-Mm-hmm?

I just made 35.
So, it was the buildup leading to it.

-OK. So, if you turn 35,
-[Cori] Mm-hmm.

-I'm a lot older.
-Mm-hmm.

-Sarah's younger.
-[Cori] Mm-hmm.

And my other grandchildren,
you know, are around that age.

I have one that's
close to your age.

I cannot imagine
any of my older grandchildren,

or me for instance,

canceling an event
because I didn't have

just the right dress.

I mean, it's not as if
a bride is canceling

her wedding because she didn't
have a wedding dress to wear.

Of course, if you wanna
get married badly enough,

you put a sack over
your head with a tie

-and you walk down the aisle.
-[courtroom laughs]

But you don't cancel the wedding.

So, you want her
to pay for the deposit

that you made on the dress?

-Yeah, it was...
-And another thousand or more dollars

because you didn't
have a nice party.

So originally when I booked it,

it was for April 1st,
when I tried to rebook it

because she told me
at the last minute

that she was not gonna
be able to do the dress,

which was the week of,

I had originally set up
for her to do the dress

so I could have
something to wear.

I purchased shoes, nails...

I understand.
I understand everything.

-[Cori] Mm-hmm.
-She's not gonna pay you for the party.

You should have worn
something else for the party.

Believe me,
your best friend from Chicago,

your mother and your father
would not have cared

if you wore that dress
or any other dress.

You should not be out a penny.

I was out a penny.

Well, you were out $150.
You gave her $150.

-Is that right?
-Yes, Your Honor.

[Judy] OK.

I gave it back to her.
I sent her a refund.

-[Judy] Oh, you did send her a refund?
-I did. Yes.

Did you... just a second... up-up.

When did you send her
a refund, Ms. Davis?

I sent her a refund
on March 29th.

She requested a refund on March 28th

-and I sent it directly to...
-[Judy] To her on March 29th?

-Yes.
-How did you send it by check? Or...

She sent me the money via Cash App

and I returned it via Cash App.

-Do you have verification of that?
-Yes, I do.

[Judy]
And she kept that money?

Yes.

-Is that correct Ms. Morgan?
-Yes, ma'am, but leading up to...

-[Judy] That's just a yes.
-Yes.

Well, what'd you think you
were taking that money for?

You ask for a refund,
she gave you a refund.

Well, I gave her $150
and she sent me $105 back.

But she sent it the week of my event,
so I didn't have...

[Judy] I don't care if it was
the week of your event.

Did you send her 105 or...

-I did.
-[Judy] Why?

Because I was charged
a fee with Cash App

and also, there were additional
items that were purchased

that I told her about
that I deducted from that.

[Judy]
You can't deduct anything from that.

And you can't even deduct
the fee from Cash App

because what it cost her
was more than $150

then to send it to you.

-Right?
-Right.

Right!
So why should you send her less?

Because I previously
explained to her

that I needed to order stones.

Those stones were ordered.

Oh, then you're gonna
have to eat those.

You didn't have
the dress in time.

-You didn't have the dress in time.
-The dress was done.

No, it wasn't done.
Not even according to you was it done.

She hadn't had a fitting on it.

The problem is you gave her money

and you should have sent her
exactly what it is

that she sent you because you didn't
fulfill your end of the contract.

A day before the party
is not time to say, "It's 95% ready."

OK.
She has to give you 145.88,

which is exactly what she received.
Am I correct that that's what she said?

-It is. She said 145.88.
-145.88? OK.

She doesn't pay you for your
disappointment, for your sorrow,

for your party costs
or anything else.

Just for my own information,
'cause that's my judgment,

did you spend your birthday
with your mother and father?

-Um...
-That's either yes or no.

-No, ma'am.
-Who did you spend your birthday with?

My boyfriend.

Oh, was he invited
to the other party?

The dinner?
Yes, but I had to cancel the dinner.

-I'm just asking.
-Yes.

You didn't have to cancel the dinner
'cause you didn't have a dress.

That's what I'm trying to get to you.

You could have gone
to your dinner in that dress.

[chuckles]

I know, it's silly
and it's a little bit immature also.

What about your best friend from Chicago?

You told him not to come in
because you didn't have a dress.

Well, I told him that I
would be canceling the dinner

because I purchased shoes,

my nails, everything was
a custom to the dress.

So, when she didn't
deliver the dress,

everything was already
in black and silver.

I did not have a chance to go look for
anything because it was the week of.

Oh, yes, of course you did.

Of course you did. Black and silver.

You put on black pants,

black top and you put on
silver around your neck.

We're done here.
Don't be ridiculous, Ms. Morgan,

you have to grow up a little.
You have to give her back her money.

Don't disappoint people.
I mean, I know it's busy.

It's tax time.
You said to her, "I'm busy.

I'm working on things for the Oscars."

You can't overstretch yourself.

I know that it's very entrepreneurial
to try to do too much.

But sometimes,
when you try to do too much,

you disappoint somebody.

-OK?
-[bailiff] This court is adjourned.

I'm not happy about it just because
I'd already given her a refund.

I'm happy with the decision.

It was pretty much principle for me.

She was very unprofessional.

And given from the beginning,
I worked with her.

And she didn't respect my time.

And she canceled on
me at the last minute.

And she waited till the last minute
and canceled the order, so...

She canceled
at the last minute

because she didn't have
the dress ready to begin with.

Everything was really on her,

but she put it on me
because she was unhappy with

how she chose to deal
with the whole situation.

We'll be getting another dress
with my original person

that I was gonna go to.

Absolutely not.

But from now on, I definitely will be
going with who I know.

I will not work with
the plaintiff again.

So, I remember
seeing through COVID

a lot of wedding dress shops closing down

and the stress of brides
going for fittings

and seeing their dress,
picking their dress,

and then the shop just closed
right out from under them.

I wonder if any of them
canceled their wedding

because they didn't
have the right dress.

I think that one of life's lessons is,
as you get older,

you have to prioritize
the importance of things.

True. Spending time with friends,

family, out of town
coming for your birthday.

I couldn't imagine
canceling an event just...

Because you didn't
have the right dress.

Because you didn't
have the right dress.

So, I think that there's
a lot of growing up to do.

Maybe a little less narcissism because
it would seem to me spending time

with your boyfriend,
your mother, your father,

your best friend from Chicago,
is more important than

having the right dress to fit
your nails and your shoes.

-I agree.
-Maybe I'm just old.
