A Lighthearted Banter Before Competition
Beca
Okay, we didn’t come here to start something with you guys. We just wanted to check you out. You know, for when we go to the Worlds. And kick your ass.
Fat Amy
Oooh! Get it, girl.
Kommissar
You? You are the kicker of ass? But you are so tiny. Like an elf. Or is it a sprite? Fairy? What is the word I mean?
Pieter Krämer
Troll.
Kommissar
That’s it. You are like a troll.
Beca
Well you... are... physically flawless. But that doesn’t mean I like you.
Chloe
We are not scared about the Worlds because when The Bellas hit the stage we are going to blow minds.
Pieter Krämer
Blow minds? With what? More of Flabby Abby's baby chute?
Fat Amy
That's not my name.
Pieter Krämer
I don't know your name. Could be anything. Obese Denise. Inflexible Tina. Lazy Susan...
Fat Amy
My name is Fat Amy, un I eat krauts like you for lunch.
Pieter Krämer
Your team is like, a, how do you say that? A heated mess. You know, a mess where heat is applied to it so what once was a little messy is now even messier.
Kommissar
Darlings, please take my advice. Don’t try to beat us. You can’t. We are the best. I must go and rest my neck. It is sore from looking down on you.
Beca
Okay! Just because you are making me very sexually confused does mean that you are intimidating. We got a chip on our shoulder and nothing to lose. And we’re not backing down from anyone. Aca Wiedersehen, bitches. Aw, what’s happening to me? Why am I using my hands so much?

I'm a Junk. My mom was a Bella.

Yep, still does. You do not want to hear that woman doing it with my dad.

What an odd thing to say.
Chloe
True.

That cannot be your screensaver, John.

Camping Misadventures and Uncomfortable Realizations

I do not understand camping. We are voluntarily living like dogs.
[crammed into a tent with all of the Bellas]
Beca
This is the worst. The air we’re breathing is at least ninety percent fart.
Fat Amy
That reminds me, I need to see a man about a horse. Um, before I head out, anyone happen to pack a spare roll of toilet paper? Maybe some Subway napkins? Tootsie Roll wrapper? Or a t-shirt size extra small? Nope. Side of the tent it is.
[climbs over the others to get out; no response; she leaves]
Beca
What are we doing here?
Chloe
We’re bonding! You seem so tense. Do you need a back rub?
Beca
I’m good. Several body parts are rubbing my back right now.
Chloe
Beca, I know we’re already close but this retreat will let us discover everything about each other.
Beca
Is that right?
Chloe
You know, one of my regrets in college is that I didn’t do enough experimenting.
[moving in closer]
Beca
You’re so weird.
Chloe
I know.
