Only in Boston, Kids imagines the argument over the last of the nachos that surely led up to the punches:

... Girl #1: Oh my God...you're such a whiner...I can eat as much as I want and I, like, don't gain any weight. Daddy, like, just gave me a brand new Lexus...and I, like, just had awesome sex with the captain of the football team.

Girl #2: You fat heifer! That's, like, my boyfriend!
