Exactly. What the fuck are you doing there?

JESSICA
Did you spend the night?
ASHLEY
Huh?
JESSICA
What's wrong with you? Don't you speak English?
ASHLEY
What the fuck, lady?

Good job going potty, Doodle. Now breakfast, then crate time, okay?

You are a real asshole you know that!
(She moves past him to the door. He reaches for her.)

Oh, fuck you.
