PANEL 1 — ELISE: I've got to be honest...
PANEL 2 — ELISE: That brownie was even better than the payback I got to dish out at my 10-year high school reunion...
PANEL 3 — ELISE: I wasn't always very popular... NADIA: That's hard to imagine.
PANEL 4 — ELISE: You know more than you're letting on... your best friend Moira is the niece of the cheer captain from my high school. NADIA: Moira doesn't really like to talk about her aunt. I don't think they get along.
PANEL 5 — ELISE: Of course not... Moira's really level-headed for her age, and her aunt Julie is probably one of the most self-centered people outside Hollywood or D.C. NADIA: All I actually know about her aunt is that she works at some big box store in Ohio and I think I met her when I was two.
PANEL 6 — ELISE: Ah, yes, the ribbon cutting... for the performing arts center at the old high school... with my name on it. NADIA (thought): I'm not even in high school yet and I hope I'm over it before I'm 40... just saying.
PANEL 7 — ELISE: Who invited Sam?
PANEL 8 — NADIA: That's Nick. ELISE: Are you sure?
PANEL 9 — NADIA: Sam wears glasses. ELISE: Oh yeah... he does.
PANEL 10 — ELISE: There's also no way in hell Mom would ever have him in the house. NADIA: He used to say some pretty mean shit about her back in Ohio... Scorpio isn't the most forgiving sign of the Zodiac...
PANEL 11 — ELISE: ...not that Taurus is, either. We're vengeful bastards if we're wronged...
PANEL 12 — ELISE: I'm a little skeptical of claims that everyone's personality traits are connected to their sign of the Zodiac... NADIA: Leos do tend to be skeptical.
