While her friend wants to get out of the bathroom she says "But first let me take a selfie" making her possibly a worse person than Adolf Hitler himself.
Hey shaniqua ?
Yesh babez ?

Want to go outside and get out of this brothel ?

In the end it’s better to tell the truth despite what happens because at least you won’t have that burden.

“Listen the truth will set you free but first it’ll piss you off. That’s apart of life.”
