Outside the back of the police station, Michael has Diane D in front of him holding on to her while she angrily looks at Carmen and Rachel as he shouts to them, “Look ladies! Diane is not in the mood to talk with you or anybody else right now!”
“But we have to talk to her now while we got the chance!” Carmen shouts.
“That‘s right!” Rachel shouts. “Especially while the Dianettes are in custody!”
“Exactly! So Diane D, would you like to perform with me and Rachel at the club next Saturday night?! We need to know now!”
“Yeah Diane D, we‘ll pay you big bucks too! Why don’t we just book you with us right now!”
Suddenly, the sound of a door bangs open! “Get the fuck away from her!” angry female voices from a distance shout. Michael, Diane D, Carmen and Rachel quickly turn their heads to look. They quickly become shocked at what they see.
The Dianettes are charging right out the back door of the police station as the three police officers charge out of the station after them! The Dianettes charge right towards Carmen and Rachel! Carmen and Rachel turn and run for their lives! The Dianettes turn and continue to charge right after Carmen and Rachel!
More police run out of the back door after the Dianettes!
Carmen and Rachel run into the street! They then run down the street!
The Dianettes run into the street continuing to charge after Carmen and Rachel!
Carmen and Rachel start to split up and run in different directions!
The Dianettes see Carmen and Rachel split up! They slow down then split up as Miranda and Nancy turn and start to chase after Carmen!

Miranda and Nancy run continuing to hold onto Carmen! The police catch up to Miranda and Nancy! They grab Miranda and Nancy, causing Miranda and Nancy to lose their grip on Carmen. Carmen continues to run away as the police, Miranda and Nancy trip and fall! The police tightly hold onto Miranda and Nancy as they all land on the ground!
On the opposite side of the street, Lonna, Charlotte, Bernice and Kelly chase after Rachel! They catch up to Rachel and push her forward, knocking her down to the ground! Rachel lands on the ground. She frighteningly tries to get up off the ground but Lonna, Charlotte, Bernice and Kelly jump right on her large back knocking her back down to the ground again! Other police officers catch up to Lonna, Charlotte, Bernice and Kelly and grab them! Rachel gets up off the ground! She is out of breath! She frighteningly runs off again as the police hold tightly onto Lonna, Charlotte, Bernice and Kelly! Lonna, Charlotte, Bernice and Kelly angrily try to break away from the police! They then stop and angrily stare towards Rachel as Rachel continues to run!

Several Deejays inside a radio station are sitting around reading a newspaper article with a headline that reads: DIANETTES TO ALL FEMALE SINGERS: STAY AWAY FROM DIANE D OR ELSE! One of the male Deejays turns to the others and says, “Hey! Did y'all read this article about what happened at the Staten Island Mall yesterday?!”
“Yeah I read it,” a second male deejay says.
“Me too,” a third male deejay says. “That was terrible what happened to Madilyn Lewis and Randy Coleman.”
“Yeah it was,” a female deejay says. “I heard it on the news this morning. Wasn't it horrible about the Dianettes biting the men from the Diaz-Davidson Organization who tried to stop them from going after Madilyn Lewis and Randy Coleman?”
“Yeah,” the first male deejay says. “It says five or six of the guys from the Diaz-Davidson Organization practically had their flesh ripped right from their arms and two other guys practically had their fingers bitten off! They had to get shots and stitches!”
“Yeah I heard that too. My God, the Dianettes went THAT far to keep Madilyn Lewis away from Diane D?”
“It certainly sounds that way!”
“Are Madilyn Lewis and Randy Coleman still in the hospital?” a second female deejay asks.
“As far as I know they are,” a first male deejay says. “They might have to stay in the hospital for a few or several days! Now Madilyn Lewis' upcoming concert at Madison Square Garden have to be canceled, just like the Punky Gurlz' concert in Paris had to be canceled.”
“Boy that's a shame.”
“It is. Did y'all read where Diane D's mom cane and whacked all the Dianettes with a big two by four stick for attacking Madilyn Lewis and Randy Coleman and biting the guys from their organization.”
“Yeah,” the third male deejay says. “I heard Diane D's mom whacked the hell out of the Dianettes' hinies.”
“I heard that too,” the second male deejay says. “I guess the Dianettes won't be able to dance or sit for a while after that.”
“Oh no?” the first male deejay says. “You didn't hear about the Dianettes trying to attack two other female singers outside the back of the police station after they got arrested!”
“What!“ everybody shouts.
“Yeah! It says right here that while the Dianettes were in police custody, they heard that two female Latin singers were outside the back of the police station trying to talk to Diane D! When they heard that, they went berserk! It says that the Dianettes broke lose away from the
police and ran right out the back door of the police station! They saw the two female singers talking to Diane D and went charging right after them!”
“What?!” everybody shouts.
“The Dianettes went charging after two female Latin singers because the Latin singers were talking to Diane D?!” the second male deejay asks.
“Yeah!” the first male deejay says. “Those two female singers had to run for their lives!”
“They had to run for their lives?! Oh no! Who were the two Latin female singers?”
“The duo Carmen and Rachel! The ones that be singing at night clubs sometimes!”
“Oh them?!” the first female deejay asks. “The Dianettes chased after Carmen and Rachel too?!”
“Yeah! The police had to chase after the Dianettes to stop them! Police and witnesses said the Dianettes were running like cheetahs after a prey when the Dianettes were chasing after Madilyn Lewis, her husband Randy Coleman and Carmen and Rachel!”
“Wow! I hear the Dianettes and Diane D can really run, so can Diane D‘s cousin Dana!”
“Yeah I heard that too!” the second male deejay says.
“They can!” the first male deejay says. “But the police caught up with the Dianettes and grabbed the Dianettes when the Dianettes went after Carmen and Rachel! So that caning and whacking the Dianettes got from Diane D's mom didn't seem to stop their behavior at all! They were still able to run after that and they were still able to chase after Carmen and Rachel and still give Carmen and Rachel a beat down.”
“Wow, are the Dianettes still in jail?”
“Hell yeah they’re still in jail!”
“All of them?”
“Yep every single one of them! Now that they’re in jail, I guess they can’t stop any female singers from talking to Diane D now.”
“No they sure can’t, so all you female singers out there who wishes to sing and collaborate with Diane D, get your chance to talk to Diane D now while you can.”
“That right.” They all then look back towards the newspaper.
Inside the hospital lobby, a crowd and reporters are all standing around hostile talking to a black male doctor around his 50's! A male reporter speaks to the doctor and asks, “How are Madilyn Lewis and her husband Randy Coleman doing?”
“They're still in a lot of pain,” the doctor says. “We're keeping them here for observation for a few more days.”
“What about the men from the Diaz-Davidson Organization who were bitten by the Dianettes?” a second male reporter asks. “How are they doing?”
“Oh they were taken to a different hospital. They had to get shots and stitches.” The crowd looks at the doctor stunned.
A week later, Mickey is inside the living room of Margarita and Tomas‘ mini-mansion. The telephone suddenly rings. Mickey picks up the telephone receiver. He speaks into the receiver and says, “Hello? .... Hey Charlotte! How are you and the girls doing?! ..... That's good! How're y'all feeling? ..... That's good. ..... Bail? I think Mom's mind is already made up Charlotte. She says she's not gonna pay bail for you and the rest of the girls. ..... Hold on. I'll ask her again.” Mickey turns his head towards the kitchen and shouts, “Ma! Charlotte se encuentra en el telefono de nuevo! Ella y las muchachas quieren saber puede usted, el papa, la Abuela y el Abuelo sacarlos de la carcel!”
“Look, Charlotte y el resto de las muchachas me llamaron cinco veces ya!” Mary’s voice shouts. “Yo ya les dije, que van a permanence en la carcel que se ensena una leccion! Tienen que permanecer en la carcel hasta que corte!”
Mickey gets back on the phone and says, “I'm sorry Charlotte, Mom says you and the rest of the girls are gonna have to stay in jail until your court date.” Mickey listens in the phone. He turns back to Mary and shouts, “Ma Charlotte dice que la decision de la corte no es hasta dentro de tres semanas. Ella dice que no es justo para ella que se separan o se alejan de Kenny! Estan casadas!”
“No tienen libertad bajo fianza! Mi mente esta hecha!”
Mickey speaks back into the phone and says, “I'm sorry Charlotte, Mama no va a cambiar su mente.” Mickey listens in the phone. He turns back to his mother and shouts, “Ma! Charlotte dice que no es justo para ella separarse de su marido cuando Madilyn Lewis que comenzo todo se pone para quedarse y estar con su marido!”
“Charlotte y el resto de las muchachas ne estan saliendo de la carcel, eso es todo! No quiero escuchar mas!”
Mickey speaks back into the phone and says, “I'm sorry Charlotte, Mama todavia no va a cambiar su mente. …. Oh Diane se fue con la abuela, el abuelo, a todos los demas para hablar con usted y los abogados de las ninas. …. Si. Todos deberian estar en un momento posterior. …. Quieres hablar con mama? …. Hold on.” Mickey turns to his mother again and shouts, “Ma Charlotte quiere hablar con usted! Ella aun quiere salir bajo fianza!”
Mary approaches Mickey and says, “Parece que ella es no tomar un no por respuesta.” Mary takes the phone receiver. She speaks into the receiver and shouts, “Charlotte, que parte de ‘no‘ no te entiendo?! Usted y las muchachas no van a recibir un rescate de la carcel! ..... Usted no debe estar lejos de Kenny? .... Oh Charlotte, me das pena. Debe haber pensado en ello antes de que used y el resto de las chicas compensator morder y luchar! Si desea ver Kenny, que puede venir con el resto de nosotros cuando todos nos visita usted manana! Vale?! Ahora quiero que las ninas para descansar un poco. Nos vemos manana.” Mary hangs up the telephone. She is about to walk away. The telephone rings again. Mary stops and puzzled looks at the telephone. She then picks it up the telephone receiver. She speaks into it and says, “Hello? .... Yes this is the Diaz-Davidson Organization. .... No Diane is not here right now. What can I do for you? ..... I'm sorry Diane has her hands full right now, she can't come visit any schools or lecture at any schools at this time. .... Her hands are full! All of our hands are full right now with the girls being locked up and their trial coming up. We don't have time for anything else. Sorry. Call back another time.” Mary hangs up the telephone and walks away.
It is three weeks later. Tons of people are in the lobby of the courthouse including several reporters. Diane D's family comes into the lobby from outside with three attorneys. The reporters approach them as a male white reporter asks, “So how are you all doing? Are you ready for the Dianettes’ trial? I see you all have the Dianettes' lawyers with you.”
“Yes we do,” Barry says. He then turns to the lawyers and says, “We’re ready guys.” Barry turns to his family and lead them and the lawyers into the courtroom.
Madilyn Lewis and Randy Coleman suddenly appear walking towards the courtroom wearing bandages around their heads, arms and shoulders. Their lawyers walk right behind them.
The crowd and reporters see Madilyn Lewis and Randy Coleman. They anxiously approach them shouting, “Madilyn Lewis! Randy Coleman!”
“How are you two feeling?” the reporter asks.
“Not good,” Madilyn Lewis says. “I just want to go to trial and get this over with. Come on Randy.” Madilyn Lewis lead Randy Coleman and their lawyers into the courtroom.
A couple of hours later, Diane D, her family, her relatives and the Dianettes and the Dianettes' families are at the end of the hallway smiling, hugging and celebrating that the Dianettes are coming home. Diane D suddenly looks down the hallway. She becomes excited. She then turns to Mary and says, “Hey Mom!” Mary looks at Diane D as Diane D says to her, “There goes Madilyn Lewis right there!” as she points her finger towards Madilyn Lewis. Mary looks down the hallway towards Madilyn Lewis. The Dianettes then turn their heads and look right at Madilyn Lewis.
Madilyn Lewis and Randy Coleman are down the other end of the hallway looking back towards Diane D, Mary and the Dianettes.
The Dianettes give Madilyn Lewis a hard stare. Mary then says to Diane D, “You want to meet her?”
“Meet her?” Diane D asks.
“Yeah. Why don?
??t you go say ‘hello’ to her?”
“Say ‘hello’ to her? You think I should Mom?”
“Why not? Go for it. I’ll come with you.”
“You will?”
“Of course I will.”
“Okay, let’s do it then.” Diane D and Mary are about to head down the hallway towards Madilyn Lewis. Suddenly, the Dianettes come right in front of Diane D and Mary and stop Diane D and Mary right in their tracks deliberately blocking Diane D and Mary from seeing Madilyn Lewis and blocking Madilyn Lewis from seeing them as Nancy says, “Hey Diane, Aunt Mary! There’s a news caster outside who wants to interview you two!”
“What?” Diane D says. “A news caster outside wants to interview us?”
“Yeah.”
“What news caster?” Mary asks.
“A news caster from one of those cable news channels,” Miranda says.
“Oh yeah?”
“Yeah.”
“We didn’t hear anything about a news caster wanting to interview us,” Diane D says.
“That’s because they just showed up,” Lonna says.
“They did?”
“Yeah,” Bernice says. “Come on. We’ll take you outside to them.”
“We’ll see them in a few minutes girls.”
“But they said if they don’t interview you now Diane, they’ll leave because they have another person to interview,” Charlotte says.
“They have another person to interview?” Mary asks.
“Yeah.”
“Okay.” Mary turns to Diane D and says, “Let’s take a quick look outside Diane.”
“Okay,” Diane D says. Charlotte, Bernice, Lonna, Nancy, Miranda and Kelly turn and happily lead Diane D and Mary right towards the exit door. They then turn their heads and give a quick glare at Madilyn Lewis as they take Diane D and Mary right out the building! Everyone else in the hallway go out the exit door following Diane D, Mary and the Dianettes out the building!
Madilyn Lewis and Randy Coleman shocking stare towards the exit door.
The following day, several deejays at a radio station are sitting around reading a newspaper with a headline that reads: JUDGE ORDERS DIANETTES TO PAY FINE AND PUTS THEM ON ONE-YEAR PROBATION! JUDGE ORDERS DIANETTES INTO COUNSELING FOR THE BITING AND THE CONSTANT FIGHTING! The first male deejay turns to the others and says, “Hey! The Dianettes got let out of jail! The judge fined them and putted them on a one-year probation and ordered them to get counseling for the biting and the fighting!”
“Yeah I heard,” a second male deejay says. “So now that the trial is over and the Dianettes are let out of jail, you think Diane D is gonna kick those Dianettes to the curb for what they did?”
“Well according to this article she's not!”
“She's not?! What do you mean?”
“Read this.” The first male deejay hands a couple of articles to the second male deejay.
The second male deejay takes the paper. He sees the article in the newspaper with headlines that read: JUDGE PUTS DIANETTES ON ONE-YEAR PROBATION AND RELEASES THEM INTO THE CUSTODY OF DIANE D'S FAMILY! “What!” the second male deejay shouts. “Diane D's family has custody of the Dianettes?!”
“Yeah! Her family and some of their relatives do! They all signed to take custody and responsibility of the Dianettes while the Dianettes are on probation! Diane D's family have to make sure the Dianettes get counseling too!”
“What!” the third male deejay shouts. “You're kidding!”
“No I'm not kidding! It says so right there! Not only that, being that Diane D's family are responsible for the Dianettes, it says that they're planning to move all the Dianettes into Diane D's paternal grandparents' home with Diane D, Dana and Diane D’s other relatives for a whole year or more!”
“What!”
“Yeah! They'll move the Dianettes back and forth between both sets of grandparents' homes, but they're gonna move the Dianettes into Diane D's paternal grandparents' home first. Diane D's family want to keep a close eye on the Dianettes to make sure the Dianettes stay out of trouble! Diane D's family and their relatives are gonna make sure the Dianettes get counseling because they're gonna take the Dianettes to counseling themselves!”
“What?!” everyone shouts.
“Doesn't Diane D's family already have custody of Diane D herself and her cousin Dana?!” the woman deejay says.
“Yeah!” the first male deejay says. “That's exactly why Diane D’s family want to move the Dianettes into Diane D's paternal grandparents' house so they can keep an eye on Diane D and her cousin Dana at the same time!”
“My God!” the third male deejay shouts. “Diane D's parents and grandparents had to deal with the Dianettes constantly fighting other female singers over Diane D and wind up going to jail for it, they had to deal with her cousin Dana fighting and beating up female police officers injuring them for life and going to jail for it, they had to deal with her allegedly chasing that reporter Felix Green on the highway shooting at him three times, they had to deal with Diane D herself getting out of control constantly kicking security guards in the groin and going to jail for it, they had to deal with Diane D walking out into the audience to punch and knock a reporter out right in the middle of her show, breaking his nose and breaking his jaw in three places then wind up going to jail for that, they had to deal with her allegedly cheating on her husband and threatening her Jamaican lover’s girlfriend then sped to the woman‘s place of residence to assault her, they had to deal with her kung fu kicking some guy’s wife in the face when the wife confronts her for asking her husband to be her date for some High School dance, they had to deal with her allegedly beating the crap out of that little boy Marcus inside that school hallway, they have to deal with her literally dragging them and several other people all at once whenever she gets angry and out of control, they had to deal with her allegedly trying to give her cousin Dana an abortion, they had to deal with her allegedly trying to give her husband a vasectomy, they had to deal with her allegedly kung fu kicking a storage room door inside a hospital clinic hallway wide open, they had to deal with making her resign from the hospital because the employees at the hospital are afraid to work around her and they had to deal with not ever letting her work in any of their own Dominican Hair salons because even the employees at the salons are afraid to work around her! It sounds like Diane D's parents and grandparents are gonna have their hands full dealing with all those angry women!”
“It sure sounds that way,” the first male deejay says. The people continue to read the article.
Madilyn Lewis is inside her hotel room in tears as Randy Coleman and a couple of family and friends surround her trying to comfort her. They look at and read the newspaper articles with headlines that reads: JUDGE PUTS DIANETTES ON ONE-YEAR PROBATION AND RELEASES THEM INTO THE CUSTODY OF DIANE D'S FAMILY! JUDGE ORDERS DIANETTES INTO COUNSELING FOR THE BITING AND THE FIGHTING! Madilyn Lewis then shouts, “Those Dianettes attacked me and my husband, and after that, they chased those two Latin female singers right outside the back of the police station then attacked them and that's all they're gonna get is counseling and a one-year probation?!”
“I'm sorry things didn't turn out for you Madilyn,” Madilyn‘s sister Gina says. “Did y'all see Diane D in the courtroom?”
“Yeah we saw Diane D in the courtroom and she saw us!” Randy Coleman shouts.
“She did?”
“Yeah! We saw her again outside the courtroom in the hallway when the trial was over! She, her family, her relatives and the Dianettes and the Dianettes' families were way down at the other end of the hallway all smiling, hugging and celebrating that the Dianettes were coming home! Then Diane D saw us again from down the hallway!”
“She did?”
“Yeah.”
“Diane D seemed excited when she saw me,” Madilyn Lewis says.
“She did?” Gina asks.
“Yeah. I saw her turn to her mother and poin
ted me out to her mom.”
“She pointed you out to her mom?”
“She sure did. Then I saw the Dianettes looking at me. Then I saw Diane D’s mom saying something to her as she nodded her head towards me. I don’t know what Diane D’s mom said to Diane D, but it looked like she was telling Diane D ‘Let’s go over and meet me’.”
“It did?”
“That’s what it looked like because for a second, it looked like Diane D and her Mom were about to come right towards me.”
“It did?”
“Yes!”
“Then what happened?”
“The next thing I know, is that all of the Dianettes came right in front of Diane D and her mom telling them something, like they were deliberately blocking my view from Diane D so I couldn’t see her and blocking her view away from me so she couldn‘t see me! They stopped me and Diane D from looking at each other! Then I saw the Dianettes excitedly lead Diane D and her mom right out the building like they were trying to get Diane D away from my view! Then I saw everyone else following them out the building! I wanted to send somebody out there to Diane D to tell her I want to meet her, but I couldn't send anybody to her with the Dianettes around! Now I read right here that Diane D’s family have custody of the Dianettes and is moving all the Dianettes into her paternal grandparents' house with Diane D and her relatives and they are moving the Dianettes in with them for a year?! Now I'll never get a chance to meet or talk to Diane D now that she's gonna have the Dianettes living in the same house with her! Those Dianettes succeeded again in stopping me and Diane D from ever meeting each other!”
“Oh Madilyn, maybe there's a way you can be able to speak to Diane D. Maybe you can find out her paternal grandparents' telephone number and give that number a call.”
“Diane D's cousin Dana lives there with Diane D's paternal grandparents you know,” Randy Coleman says. “Diane D and her family have custody of Dana too! What if Dana picks up the telephone like she did when the Punky Gurlz called there?! If Dana picks up the telephone and finds out that it is Madilyn Lewis on the other end of the telephone, she's gonna curse Madilyn out just like she cursed the Punky Gurlz out! She's not gonna care WHO Madilyn Lewis is, celebrity or no celebrity! She's gonna tell Madilyn to stay the hell away from her cousin Diane just like she told the Punky Gurlz that and she did not care WHO the Punky Gurlz were. She did not care that they are celebrities! She didn’t see them as celebrities! The way Dana would see it, is that Madilyn is causing disturbance around her family, that's the way Dana saw it with the Punky Gurlz! As far as she is concerned, they are no celebrities to her!”
“The Dianettes probably whispered in Dana’s ear and told Dana not to let the Punky Gurlz speak to Diane D.”
“Anything is possible.”
“That's alright,” Madilyn Lewis cries. “I don't need to find out Diane D's paternal grandparents' telephone number. I don't need anybody who picks up the other end of the phone cursing at me! It's just not worth it. I'm just gonna have to forget about ever meeting Diane D. Whenever my concert comes around, I'll just find another singer to do a duet with.” Madilyn Lewis starts to tear more heavily as Randy Coleman, Gina and the other people sadly surround her.
It is four days later. A crowd of people and reporters are outside the organization all anxious as they knock on the door. The door opens. Barry steps outside. “Where's Diane D and the Dianettes?!” a male white reporter asks.
“They do not want to talk to anybody right now,” Barry says. “So if you would all please go away, my family and I would appreciate it! Thank you!” Barry turns away and goes back inside the door, slamming the door behind himself.
It is three weeks later. Margarita is inside her office. The telephone rings. Margarita picks up the telephone receiver. She speaks into the receiver and says, “Hello Diaz-Davidson Organization.”
“Hello, is this Margarita Diaz-Davidson?” Emily a young white female says.
“Yes this is. What can I do for you?”
“Well my name is Emily Cohen from the School Committee. I called your organization before because the School Committee would like for Diane D to start coming back to a few elementary schools to visit and speak to the children like she used to do.”
“Oh yeah?”
“Yes. When I called your organization before, I think I spoke to Diane D's mom. Diane D's mom told me Diane D's hands were full and that Diane D won't be able to make it to visit any schools and told me to call back another time. Well it's another time now and I'm calling again. So can Diane D come visit the elementary schools?”
“Oh I'm sorry, Diane is not here right now. She left town last week.”
“She left town?”
“Yes.”
“Well where did she go?”
“She, her husband, her parents and her brothers flew down to Jamaica with her cousin Dana to stay and live with Dana's mother's family and relatives for a month.”
“Diane D flew down to Jamaica? You mean Jamaica, West Indies?”
“Yes.”
“To stay there for a month?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“They all wanted to get away from the trial the girls had and wanted to get away from the reporters that kept coming around here.”
“Oh yeah? Why did her cousin Dana go to Jamaica?”
“Well Dana's from Jamaica. She always travel back and forth between New York and Jamaica. So when it was time for Dana to go back to Jamaica, Diane and the rest of the family decided to go to Jamaica with Dana, so they all flew down to Jamaica together to stay with Dana's mother's family and relatives.”
“Oh yeah? What about the Dianettes? Aren't the Dianettes in Diane D's family's custody too?”
“Yes the girls are in our family's custody. Diane and the rest of the family flew the girls down to Jamaica with them.”
“They did?”
“Yes.”
“All the Dianettes?”
“Yes, all of them. The girls are gonna live in Jamaica with Diane and the rest of them for a month also.”
“But aren't the Dianettes supposed to be getting counseling?”
“Yes. We are gonna have the girls go to counseling down in Jamaica while they're there. We already made arrangements with their probation officers for the girls to go to counseling in Jamaica. We're gonna make sure the girls get counseling where ever they are.”
“Oh I see.”
“Diane should be back in New York in a month.”
“Oh okay. Tell her that Emily Cohen from the school committee called and we would love for her to start visiting the schools again. Tell her the children would love to see her. We understand she doesn’t make appearances in schools anymore, ever since that hoax about the little boy who’s dying of leukemia was pulled on your family. We were all hoping she got over that hoax and changed her mind and start coming back to schools again.”
“We tried to talk Diane into going back to the schools and talking to the children again. We didn’t had any luck with her.”
“You didn’t?”
“No.”
“Well hopefully I can get her to change her mind if I get to meet her and talk to her.”
“Well good luck in trying to change her mind if you do get a chance to meet her. I‘ll tell her you called.”
“Okay, thanks. Bye.”
“Bye.” Margarita hangs up the telephone and goes away.
