Bette: How did things go at the bank?

Tina: Great, opened my account and got the forms for our joint account. Cynthia highlighted the areas where you should sign. I’ve already signed how much to you want to put in there? I’ll transfer some money from my new account and write a check from the old joint account for your portion.

Bette: Let’s start with a month’s rent each, can you do that now?

Tina: Yes, I put more than that in my account so that won’t be a problem. I’m not sure if I’ll get by the bank before or after lunch tomorrow, but I’ll do it tomorrow. I also got a library card today.

Bette: Well aren’t we just the New Yorker. I still haven’t done that.

Tina: I figured that was a place we’d want to take Angelica and a good way to grab books without cluttering up our place with things we own.

Bette: As always, thinking practically.

Tina: I’m glad we had this financial talk today. I really didn’t plan it, but it is something we needed to do.

Bette: Well, I’m really glad you are here this week. I hadn’t planned on having you, but it is an awesome treat. Did you get some rest today?

Tina: Not really rest, but today was relaxing.

Bette: Well why don’t you sleep in? I don’t have a gym schedule for tomorrow and I usually take her on Tuesdays.

Tina: I was kind of looking forward to taking her to school and making another run tomorrow.

Bette: Well you go ahead and take her then. I’ll go to the gym and just do a workout and not a class. We can do a late lunch again at one. Just call me when you’re just about there and I’ll come meet you in the lobby. I’ll pick her up, just like today. Are you going to fix dinner again or want take out?

Tina: I’d like to cook again. We’re eating out on Wednesday and I won’t be here for dinner on Thusday.

Bette: Do you need to arrange a car for Thursday to get you to the airport? The doormen will do that for you. It’s much better than a taxi for similar money.
