Johanna: They’ve all gone down. We can talk. Oh my God, Mic! Have we ever seen a dinner party crash and burn that fast before?

Michaela: I’m not sure we have. This tablecloth’s not coming back from it, that’s for sure. Here, pass me the other end …

Johanna: Mmm?

Michaela: Keep your radio close tonight – okay?
