Samantha: You mean "Erin go braless".

Charlotte: Haha she doesn't wear bra.

Samantha: Was she wearing a bra the job interview?

Charlotte: I don't know Samantha.I was too busy thinking about her degree in children's education, and how much the girls liked her.

Samantha: So her tits never came up.
