Overheard

in the living room:

Bee and Dee were talking about not having to go to work ever again if their imaginary rich boyfriends would take care of them.
Dee hoped her real-life boyfriend, London Fling, would take the role of Prince Charming, while Bee considered her friend J, a guy she's known for seven years and who takes her out to the nicest restaurants in the city all in an effort to woo her over. In reality, Bee will have no parts of him, claiming she's just not attracted.

Dee: Why can't London Fling just move here and take care of me already?
Bee: Yeah, that would be nice. I may have to just cave in and marry J.
Dee: Yeah, get on that.
Bee: I mean I'd get nice meals, a great two bedroom in Brooklyn, anything I wanted! And he'd treat me like a princess.
Dee: Yeah, and buy you diamonds!
Bee: (eyes popping open) Yeah!
Dee: Can't you just try one lil' kiss to see if you like him?
Bee: (twisting her face up) No,.....
Dee: Well, we need to do something so we can sit here and eat bon bons all day instead of working.
Bee: Yeah! We need someone to buy us diamonds AND bon bons!
Dee: Yeah!

And so it has been written. Food, shelter and diamonds. Those are a girl's basic needs.
