As his nose grows, he says, “Quick, Geppetto! Get me some sandpaper!”

she’s a drama empress

“…You are a Drama Kamikaze!!”

Harpy hissy fit

Why was theirs, the only table with a table cloth?

She might be what is known as a ‘Guelph plater’.

Can’t see anything from there, Bleeb.

Uh-oh… no backsies… she provin’ your point!

… she might make a pretty good table dancer.

You are the Dancing Queen

She’s a drama tavern maid.

First date…LAST Date!!!

I saw her jump up on the table like a tall walking big black cat.

In order to qualify for ‘Drama Queen’, she’d have to have completely cleared the table of utensils, and had him held up over her head. Right now, she’s just plain crazy.

Don’t take it back, run like the wind!

How come only they get a tablecloth

One of your best, John!

She needs a Dramamine.

Borderline.

drama bi+ch

“Now’s a good time. I’ll take that check, mate.”

Too late, you idiot…now see what you’ve done? Dinner is ruined

“she is the drama queen, young and sweet, only seventeen….”

Ha, excellent, John!

No, she’s downright psychotic.

Well he promised her dinner and a little theater, so…

I see you’ve met Annie Wilkes….

wow, dinner with a table dance!

You ought to see her when she really gets upset!
