nicole: i've decided to run for student body president! if i'm going to become a senator one day, i should get some experience under my belt now.

ted: andrea jenkins is also running. she'll give you a run for your money!

nicole: andrea jenkins is an idiot. i'm by far the better candidate.

ted: don't be so full of yourself! i might vote for andrea.

nicole: stop kidding around. let's get down to business. i need your help.

ted: you want me to help you!

nicole: yes. i need you to talk your friends into voting for me.

ted: but you never give my friends the time of day. all you give them is the cold shoulder.

nicole: that's because they've got blue hair and nose rings!

ted: they're better than your friends -- a bunch of goody-goodies and brown-nosers!

nicole: that's beside the point. let's talk about your friends and their votes.

ted: okay. you scratch my back and i'll scratch yours. if you do my chemistry homework, i'll help you get the votes.

nicole: i'm not crazy about that idea. but, okay, it's a deal. i hope i can count on you.
