MLM Recovery Plan
Dexter: She is in the bathroom with your mom, wtf am I supposed to do? She threw up all over the God damn floor, Julia! Is that my fault? Am I upsetting her that much?
Julia: Stop being a drama queen, not everything is about you. Get your shit together because you have to talk her into letting you go with her tonight.
Dexter: Go? Go where? Why aren’t you coming over? Shouldn’t you be here helping me?
Preston: Yeah, Julia! You really should be here, I’m not good at all this girly shit.
Julia: Shockingly, you are still single.
Preston: (Rolling eye emoji) I’m adding Shepherd to this group, he is good with girly shit.
Shepherd added at 6:25 pm
Dexter: WTF. Julia, where am I supposed to convince Lanie to go and how am I supposed to do that, she just vomited after talking to me.
Shepherd: I am definitely in the dark here, let me add Cooper, he picks up social stuff faster.
Cooper added at 6:28 pm
Dexter: WTF STOP adding your brothers, Preston, this is serious.
Cooper: Hey, guys, what’s up? You realize I am in the next room, right?
Dexter: For Fuck's sake, everyone STOP texting, let Julia answer me.
Julia: I think you are one step closer to getting the girl, but Lanie just told me she has something she has to do to make sure she doesn’t break your family like she’s been broken.
Dexter: WTH, she isn’t broken, why the fuck won’t she listen to me on that? What is it she has to do?
Cooper: Wait, is MLM: Make Lanie Mine? So freaking cool, man. How long has this group been scheming?
Preston: Too fucking long.
Dexter: I am going to grab all your fucking phones in two seconds if you don’t shut the hell up and let Julia explain this to me.
Easton added 6:42 pm
Ashton added 6:42 pm
Dexter: That is it. Hand over your phones NOW.
Julia: She didn’t say, Dex, but my guess? If she has to fix something to be whole again, she is going to talk to her mom.
Dexter: Oh, hell no. She is not going without me.
Julia: That’s what I was hoping to hear.
Ashton: Can someone send us the transcripts? I have a feeling we have missed a lot of great stuff!
Julia: Fuck off. This is Julia btw, say hi to my Mom and Dad for me.
Julia: Dexter, I’m out of commission tonight, Charlie is sick, it's all up to you, dude.
Dexter: Great.
