Nikki:It's faster to drop the “are” in some phrases. Like “you cool”, “you crazy”...

Wen:Word. So what are my options here? Can I get a relaxer?

Nikki:Wen, relaxers “relax” the curls, so they turn into straight hair.

Wen:Oh. Ha-ha. Then I was born with a relaxer. Hmm...can I have an Afro? [Nikki shakes her head] How about a perm?

Nikki:Boring! How about braids? They won't last long, but they'll last through some booty-shakin'.

Wen:Aight. I'm down.

小雯：西底。那現(xiàn)在我有什么選擇?我可以抹一些順發(fā)劑嗎?
