A dialogue between girls in a queue at a store

Nadia: Excuse me, but I think you're in the wrong place.

Naheed: Are you speaking to me?

Nadia: Yes. The end of the queue's over there. I think you've made a mistake.

Naheed: A mistake. I have every right to stand where I wish.

Nadia: May be. But you have no right to barge in front of a lot of other people in a queue.

Naheed: Barge, did you say?

Nadia: Yes, We've all been waiting here for over an hour.

Naheed: Well, so have I.

Nadia: Look, I don't like to contradict you but you weren't here even five minutes ago.

Naheed: I have no intention of brawling in public. Here i am and here I intend to stay.

Saira: Oh no, oh no you don't lady. I saw you push in too. Now you get back to the end of the queue.

Naheed: I don't think I've had the pleasure of addressing you.

Saira: Pleasure! Proper lady she is! I'll speak to anyone I like, let me tell you! free country isn't it!

Naheed: Of course. That's why I'll stand where I like.

Saira: Clever, isn't she, very clever. Real lawyer type. Well let me tell you, you get out of this queue and move to your proper place at the back or we'll tear the feathers out of your hat!

Naheed: Are you threatening me?

Zubida: That's right love.

Naz: Yes, love, she's done in better people in her day than you, lady! Specially, when it's a question of violence.

Naheed: Really, I think I'd better go and fetch a policeman.

Zubida: You do that.

Naz: you better push off quick before she starts on you, while you've still got a face to call your own so to speak.

Naheed: Oh!

Zubida: Bye, diaries! That's a wise girl!

Nadia: You wouldn't really use violence would you?

Zubida: No, suppose not. Just don't like people like that pushing their way in.

Naz: Well that got rid of her quick enough, didn't it?

Zubida: She better not come back either.
