Amber visits Holli's chaotic house to practice dumping her boyfriend, Brandon. However, her friends Viva and Holli are distracted by medication and crude jokes, turning Amber's serious rehearsal into a ridiculous conversation about sexual mishaps and robins.
AMBER: I’m just on my way round Brandon’s.
HOLLI: To dump him?
AMBER: To dump him.
HOLLI: Oh my God.
AMBER: I’m really worried.
HOLLI: Don’t be worried. D’you want one of my Mum’s tablets? They’re really calming. Viva’s had one.
AMBER: No, I’m okay. I just want to practise what I’m going to say.
