Panel 1: Later. Sara and Frances are in a dark room. Sara says, "Well, I feel old." Frances, incredulous, replies, "YOU feel old?!"

Panel 2: Frances, looking away, says, "I should have known better than to listen to the intern..."

Panel 3: Sara replies, "Intern?" Frances laughs, "Hah -- Yeah, your replacement's an INTERN."

Panel 4: The whole room they're in is shown. Sara and Frances are along the back wall. Sara's wearing a black dress with a v-neck, collar, and tied belt around the waist; Frances is wearing a skirt, black top with a keyhole, and Mary Janes. Near them is a sullen-looking man in all black holding a beer bottle; a woman in a strapless jumpsuit with a bandana around her neck and jelly bracelets chats with another woman in a polka-dot top. There's a man wearing a bandana around his head in the manner of Axl Rose standing near a woman with very blonde hair, a butterfly barrette, oversized hoop earrings, and an 80's sweatshirt.

Panel 5: Frances continues, "Temporary, I'm sure -- she's awful."

Panel 6: Sara smiles as Frances says, "Let's get out of here. I'm too drained to try try somewhere else. Your relief is palpable."

By some miracle I still have the reference images I pulled the first time I did this section (2005 was the height of photoblogs of club nights); the group scene features almost-real outfits from a night called Trash! which was held Fridays at a place called Rififi/Cinema Classics on 11th Street in the East Village.
