An indignant sixth-former holds forth on that year’s notorious New Year’s party, which took place at her house.

GIRL 1: And you’ll never guess what happened.

GIRL 2: Oh, is this about M and A?

GIRL 1: Yeah, I mean, did you hear? On my bed. I don’t think that’s right, do you? That’s minging. Dan? Dan, if you were at someone’s party would you do it on their bed?

DAN: What?

GIRL 2: You know—do it. On someone’s bed?

DAN: Hhhmm.

GIRL 1: I mean, that’s bad enough. But she said to me, ‘Oh we did it on your bed, not in your bed.’ Like that’s supposed to make it all right! Not in my bed but on it! I mean, like, urghh! I mean, would you have done it on my bed, Dan?

Dan considers this very carefully.

DAN: No, I don’t think I’d have done it on your bed. I think I’d probably have done it on your floor. Next to your bed but not on your bed.

Girl 1 and Girl 2 regard Dan incredulously.

DAN: What?

Girl 1 and Girl 2 tut.

DAN: You know, I’m surprised someone hasn’t warned him about that girl.
